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.
