Answers: do i need to remove the heads?

This is how I have always done it,remove the heads,large pot with little salt rinse off the octopus with a little lemon add to the water and cook between 30 min. -45 min. depending on their size prick with a fork they should be tender when they are,then they are ready to take out of the water to prepare.

the chinese or japanese make glacian octopus (i think that is the name).

yes, the removal of heads is a good idea. XD
the tentacles are the delicacy.

yes. smack on the head.... then boil until they stop moving.

yes but be careful when removing the heads or they may ink on your table. Trust me, go slow.
