Best Answer

When squid gather in a group, they usually exhibit "shoaling" behavior, which is similar to "schooling" except not uni-directional. So you can call them "a shoal of squid".

But obviously a squad of squid would be more fun. So use that instead. Since collective nouns are an informal part of language, if enough people use it, it becomes the standard.
