Yes they do in fact sea turtles also eat sea weed and fish and sea turtles in turn get eaten by killer whales,providing an effective food chain
I believe you meant how do they not get stung by jellyfish in which case sea turtles have a very thick skin and usually bite the jellyfish from above eating the main body and the beak usually shearing the tentacles of the jellies off. They do occasionally get stung, but it is not fatal thanks to many years of genetic evolution of the species.

No, jellyfish are one of the preferred items on the menu for sea turtles. Part of their natural diet. That is one of the reasons that plastic bags are so detrimental to ocean life. Sea turtles will eat the plastic bags thinking they are jellyfish. Turtles cannot digest the bags and die.

no they do not eat snails, unless in captivity. wild jellys don't eat snails because snails stay at the bottom of the ocean while jelly fish stay near the bottom, but aren't close enough.

No; portuguese man o'war, or bluebottle jellyfish in not a jellyfish but a colony of many polyps.Each polyp is a single animal in the polypoid stadium (not medusoid), specialized in particular functions, and all together are joint to make a unique "body": the colony. The floating part is a polyp full of gas, called siphonophore; the "eating" part are polyps called gastrozoids; the stingy tentacles are the dactylozoids; while the reproductive sistem is provided by gonozoids.

Most likely, yes. A man of war jellyfish has such deadly tenticles full of strong poison that could kill a shark easily.Another AnswerPossibly, but the man of war jellyfish is more likely to badly injure the shark than kill it. It all depends on the size of the tentacles of the man of war jellyfish and the type of the shark.
