A jellyfish that has no tentacles is probably a Nuda comb jelly of the genera Beroe or Neis. Unlike other comb jellies, species of Beroe and Neis swim around until they bump into suitable prey, which they then swallow. Swallowed prey is then torn to pieces by muscular contractions and specialized, spine-like cilia lining the stomach chamber.

Why aren't octopuses and squids in the same group as jellyfish even though they both have tentacles?
The answer is very simple. Jellyfish are cnidarians. Octopi are not. Because the octopus does not have the same head structure as the jellyfish. Also octopi are cephalopods. They are closer to mollusks in the bases of things but the tentacles are different. Just because they have tentacles does not mean they are in the same categories. But octopi and squid are in the same category as mollusks such as snails. That is a different story though. But that is why they are not the same.
What does a jellyfish use its tentacles for?
Jellyfish tentacles have a variety of jobs. Their main purpose is to capture food. Usually they trail behind the jelly to fish for prey. Once contacted, tentacles have specialized cells that sting, stick to, or entangle the prey to immobilize it. The tentacle then contracts and draws the prey towards the mouth of the jellyfish, where oral arms push the food into the oral cavity for consumption. Tentacles sometimes are also used to aid locomotion, grasp onto substrates, and ward off enemies.
How Do JellyFish Shock?
Jellyfish actually don't shock. They sting. They have little barbs on their tentacles (the long flowing things attached to the main body) that are filled with venom. That venom paralyzes prey, such as small fish or other small ocean animals when they wander into the tentacles. The venom isn't enough to kill a human, just give them a very bad rash that will hurt a lot! (unless they have a major allergic reaction.)
