Best Answer

The Portuguese Man-of-War eats small fish and other small ocean animals that is stings with its long tentacles. The poison in the stingers paralyzes the prey, which the Man-of-War then eats. The poison cannot kill humans, but the sting can be very painful.

The loggerhead turtle feeds on the Portuguese man o' war, a common part of the loggerhead's diet. The turtle's skin is too thick for the sting to penetrate. The sea slug Glaucus atlanticus also feeds on the Portuguese man o' war, as does the violet snail Janthina janthina. The blanket octopus is immune to the venom of the Portuguese man o' war; young individuals carry broken man o' war tentacles, presumably for offensive and/or defensive purposes. The ocean sunfish's primary diet consists of jellyfish, but it can also consume Portuguese men o' war.
