Best Answer

Vampire squid feed on dead plankton, algae, faecal matter, shells of miniature crustaceans, and other similar decaying matter and detritus. Vampire squid collect particles of food by using two long, hair-lined filaments. They then wrap the particles into mucus balls before ingesting them.
