Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Man o War live in tropical waters, like off Hawaii or the Indian Ocean, sweeping the ocean with their dangling tentacles for food. They eat anything that comes in contact with them as they drift, including fish and plankton.

They have a symbiotic relationship with a few fish species, those fish are immune to the toxins in the stinging tentacles, this makes them important to those animals in terms of survival.

In addition, it is itself a favorite food of the Loggerhead Turtle. See here for more information on these interesting creatures:

Good luck on your school project. Aloha.

But nothing I saw as answering your question completely.
