The difference between arm and tentacle suckers is subtle. Arm tentacles have suckers all the way down the length of the arm. Tentacles have suckers only at the tips.

What do the arms of the squid do?

Squids have four pairs of arms and a pair of tentacles. The tentacles are longer than the arms. The tentacles perform the function of grabbing prey and holding on to it. There are hooks on the arms as well as the tentacles of squids but the ones on the tentacles can swivel while those on the arm cannot.
