Most jellyfish are passive drifters that feed on living or dead preys: small fish, eggs, zooplankton and other invertebrates that become caught in their tentacles. Preys are brought (by tentacles, if they have any) into the cavity, called coelenteron, where it is digested. Jellyfish have an incomplete digestive system, meaning that the same orifice is used for both food intake and waste expulsion. Jellyfish have cells called cnidocytes, which contain nematocysts, and located on their tentacles, mainly. Whenever a prey comes in contact with cnidocilia (structures of the cnidocytes), hundreds to thousands of cnidae (filaments of the nematocysts) are ejected into the prey 's direction; nematocysts' cnidae inoculate a poisonous or allergenic mixture into the prey 's body; the prey , if live, die by osmotic shock, paralysis or anaphylactic shock and is then brought to the mouth with tentacles or with oral arms. Jellyfish of the Order Rhizostomeae have no tentacles, instead they have cnidocytes on the manubrium (oral arms).


they attract fish and digest them through their stingers

Even though they have no eyes,heart,or even bones the Jelly fish is made out of pure nerves...they're so sensitive that they can feel the least small movement in the water so they find each other by their nerve sence (hope this helps)

Some jellyfish don't even choose a mate the male jellyfish will let out its sperm into the free ocean and thats what a female will do with her unfertilized eggs. So when they meet the egg gets fertilized.
