I really like the octopus Mike, using string to move the arms is a great
idea. The technic turntable is a godsend for things like this, when I was
young I always wanted to make octupus type rides but could never get them
quite right since there appeared to be no way of making concentric drive
shafts.
I have a render of a turntable arrangement I used for a crane, the gear
reduction will be too much for your application but it may give you some
ideas:

The following file contains several DAT files of the crane:

If you look at "chassis_withbelts_merged.dat" it shows how the turntable is
connected to the model.
