Jellyfish do not hunt. Rather, these brainless animals pulse through the water as the ocean currents carry them to various locations consuming food as it is caught and stunned by the tentacles. Jellies that consume larger prey generally have long tenticles adapted for attracting its potential meal. The prey is injected with nematocysts (stinging cells) that possess a toxin, which then kills or stuns the prey. Some jellies even receive nutrients through photosynthesis due to a symbiotic relationship with zooxanthellae (photosynthetic algae) within their tissues. In turn, the zooxanthellae receives nutrients through plankton stung by the jellyfish tentacles and consumed by the jelly.
