Incorrect Answer

No, instead they all have blue blood. This is because they have a certain molecule inside the blood containing copper. Most organisms have blue blood. Humans have blue blood!

Answer

Actually, Squids have red blood. Octopuses have blue blood. The answer above is incorrect. But it is true that humans have blue blood that turns red when it is exposed to oxygen.

Cephalopods have red blood (iron based). Horseshoe Crabs have green blood (copper based). Iron has a greater affinity for oxygen than copper, so I would assume red blood would be more efficient in transporting oxygen.

Yes ! and this is because they live in the water and the red color in our blood is because of oxygen, and there are no oxygen i water.

Both squids and octopuses have blue blood.Their blood is this colour because they use an oxygen-carrying molecule in their blood that contains copper.
