I don't know for certain if squid can eat octopus..but, it is known and documented that some species of octopus prey and feed on other octopus...so it would seem that large octopus would probably eat smaller squid and large squid would probably eat small octopus ( if they are caught and available) in the area they are hunting in.
About two years ago, a Japanese scientist and film maker recorded a giant squid with a tentacle caught on their hook that I believe had fish bait? It could have been octopus bait? whatever it was, it was FREE FOOD for the squid ( which dropped the tentacle to get free of the hook).
*A rule of thumb," Most animal consumers will hunt and prey on animal food that is easily caught. They tend to hunt prey they do not have to fight hard with since there are a 'lot of fish in the sea'." (smile)
