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.
