They first sting their prey.
Jellies are carnivorous, feeding on plankton, crustaceans, fish eggs, small fish and other jellyfish, ingesting and voiding through the same hole in the middle of the bell. Jellies hunt passively using their tentacles as drift nets.
move from tentacles to mouth
Jellyfish eat by capturing fish or other small animals with their tentacles and dragging it into their mouths. These tentacles stun the animal so that it does not try to get away.

∙ 15y agoMost jellyfishes are drifters that feed on living or dead preys: small fish, eggs, zooplankton and other invertebrates that become caught in their tentacles. Preys are brought (by tentacles, if they have any) into the cavity, called coelenteron, where it is digested.
Polypodium hydriforme is a parasite.
Jellyfishes have cells called cnidocytes, which contain nematocysts, and located usually on their tentacles, mainly. Whenever a prey comes in contact with cnidocytes, hundreds to thousands of nematocysts' filaments are ejected into the prey's direction. These stinging cells are thus able to latch onto the prey, and the tentacles, or the oral arms (developed from the manubrium) bring the prey item into their mouth for digestion.
