Squid http://polarbait.com.au/main/images/stor… Octopus http://www.fiskbasen.se/images/octopus_v… Cuttlefish are better than both. And misspelling “lying” is bad.

Octopus has eight tentacles, and a squid has ten. An octopus can get up to 14 feet from “arm to arm”, but there have been reports of some that have gotten up to 30 feet. The majority of squid are about 24 inches long, but there are the giant squid which can get up to 43 feet long.

The most obvious difference is the visual one: an octopus has a bulbous body (sometimes mistakenly called “head”), and squid has an elongated body with tentacles on one end and a fin on the other end. I will let you learn of other differences between them from Wikipedia: http://www.wikipedia.org 😉 Oh, and my favourite mollusc is cuttlefish. They are cute and they can change colours very very fast to daze their prey.
