Are you sure it's a squid and not an octopus? I thought squids had 8 arms and 2 tentacles- with those 2 being longer than the rest. Also they're supposed to have hooks in their tentacles.

OP, if you had said "fingerpuss," not only would it be more accurate, but it would get a lot more attention.

[–]CheekyMunky 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Not as accurate as "fingerpus," which most people would have assumed to be NSFL and skipped.

You can tell it's a Squid because it has two longer arms and you can see the flaps on the sides of it head, it only looks like a Octopus because it's out of the water.

This might be a cuttlefish too, they have a similar look to octopus but are better at changing color. The little dark marks on it's skin look more like something you would find on a cuttlefish. Like I said though, some of them are so similar it could be either.
