How to differentiate between squid, cuttlefish, octopus

Cuttlefish, squid, and octopus are all creatures that we are familiar with, but most people can't tell these creatures apart, and even think they are the same creature. So today we will talk about octopus, cuttlefish, and squid from a scientific perspective.

First up is the octopus

Octopus is the general name for eight-brachial cephalopods, while cuttlefish are decabrachial animals. Octopus, cuttlefish and squid can be distinguished by counting the number of tentacles: an octopus with 8 tentacles is a cuttlefish or squid with 10 tentacles.

Cuttlefish and squid

Squid is a type of cuttlefish, because cuttlefish is the general name for all animals under the superorder Cephalopods, and squid is the general name for all animals under the suborder Decabrachia, order Squid, so squid is included in cuttlefish. Our Frozen Squid Flower Cut is made from high-quality squid and has a fresh and smooth taste.

Squid

Squid is the general name for animals under the suborder Open Eyes. It has 10 arms, 8 long and 2 short. The body is slender and conical, and the inner shell is thin and transparent. The eyes of the squid are uncovered, and the fins are only on the sides at the end. Mostly used for food, our Frozen Squid Flower Cut is made from squid.
