Squids excrete a black ink which darkens and clouds the water, making it difficult for predators to see them. Then they use their arms and siphon to push themselves away danger.
Squid have eight arms surrounding their head. Each arm is equipped with suckers. They also have two tentacles, which are longer than the arms. These tentacles have wide, leaf-shaped spatulas at their tips that are are covered in four rows of suckers. Each suction cup is surrounded by hooks. These two tentacles are the squid's main defence as well as for catching prey. Squid also produce sepia, an ink-like substance that is released through the animal's anus.

A squid protects itself by: Squirting seamen and swimming away faaaaast like
It has a horrible ink inside of its glands and when an enemy comes near it releases a jet of it into the enemies face.

It isn't poisonus, but smells bad and tastes VERY bad. It also makes it hard for the enemy to see for a bit so that the squid has the advantage of getting away before the enemy has gotten over the shock.

Squids do not have protective shells. However, they do have protective behaviors. Same can change body colour to match their surroundings. Some can release dark clouds of ink-like fluid into the water, to confuse their predators. The lack of a shell lets them move freely through the water.
