The Razor Jelly is a rarely documented, deep sea creature. In nature, it is a predator that hunts for its food, which consists of fish and the occasional eel. By sensing it's prey through the water/sound vibrations made by the fish's movements, the Razor Jelly slowly makes it's way toward the prey. Then it thrusts forward and lashes out with it's two main tentacles, which are covered in a special sticky slime, which latch onto the prey and then pull it towards the mouth.
The mouth itself, is an interesting part of the organism. It consists of cartilage and bone teeth shaped similarly to that of a shark's. The mouth inside is covered in teeth, pulling the prey, in a rhythmic motion, to a second mouth at the back. Much like that of a lamprey's.
The food then enters the Jelly's digestive tract, which consists of several stomach like sacks that each absorb different nutrients from the food as it get's passed along. Then exits through the anus 'flower' at the top of the Jelly's 'cap'.
The Jelly does not have something that can be called a 'brain'. But its neural-circuitry works together in such a way that it resembles the neuro-activity of a brain. So in a way, the Jelly is a creature capable of simple thought processes.

Enjoy and don't find yourself face-to-face with Razor Teeth Jelly next time you go deep sea diving. ;D
