No it is not a parasite. The Portuguese Man-of-War is a colony of organisms that form what many think is a jellyfish. But the Portuguese Man-of-War is not a jellyfish it is a siphonophore. But it does share some similarities to a jellyfish. It has tentacles that contain poison stinging cells. And the top part of the organism is a gas filled bubble. The Man-of-War can be deadly to humans depending on were you are stung and how big you are.
A Parasite is an organism that benefits off of its host at the expense of the host.
