Octopuses and squids can also move by using a form of jet propulsion. Water is drawn into the mantle cavity and then forced out through a tube, propelling the cephalopods backwards from danger. In addition, squids and octopuses produce a dark-colored ink when the are frightened. As this ink is released into the water, it helps to hide the mollusks/squids/octopuses and confuse its predators
