Portuguese Man-of-War jellyfish are also known as bluebottles.
Bluebottles are named after their shiny, iridescent blue-green color. This coloration helps to attract potential mates and is also a form of defense against predators.
Bluebottles, also known as Portuguese man o' war, primarily feed on small fish, plankton, and other small marine organisms. They capture their prey using their long tentacles, which contain specialized cells called nematocysts that deliver a painful sting. The stinging cells immobilize the prey, allowing the bluebottle to digest it. In addition to live prey, they may also consume detritus and organic matter in their environment.
