My current project is about a flying squid, and after three months of pre-production, I'm finally animating the first scene. This is my first time animating an eight-legged creature in 2D (I've done it in 3D) and one of the first things I realized would be an issue was keeping track of which leg is which.
The solution here - color coding. Leg #1 is red, leg #2 is green, and so on. It looks something like this:
Makes it a lot easier to keep the tentacles separated. The same method works great for animating quadrupeds, insects, spiders, and aliens with prehensile antennae.
