Portuguese man-o'-war

Notable for living within the deadly tentacles of the Portuguese man o' war, the man-of-war fish is generally found in open sea or close to the siphonophore Portuguese man o' war, after which it is named.

The Portuguese man-o'-war lives in the demersal, marine, depth range 200 - 1000 m environment.

The Portuguese Man-O'-War - also known as a bluebottle, is actually a floating colony of polyps. The organism, with a balloon-like sail propelled by the winds, trails tentacles that can reach 100 feet or more and that sting when touched. More
