The Portuguese man-of-war will eat pretty much anything that comes in contact with its stinging tentacles. Their long tentacles drag continuously through the water due to currents. The muscles in each tentacle contract and drag prey into the gastrozooids (special feeding polyps that are used like mouths) consume and digest the food by phagocytosis - by secreting a full range of enzymes that variously break down proteins, carbohydrates and fats.
They mostly eat small crustaceans, small fish, algae and other members of surface plankton.
