Abralia veranyi tend to live in the deep water during the day where the sunlight cannot be seen. But at night, they make their daily vertical migration towards the top of the water to hunt for prey. Even though they are only about 3 inches long, they still hunt other invertebrates (EOL). To capture prey, they grab onto them with their arms that have suckers and create a tight grip with the hooks on their two tentacles so their prey cannot escape. After they have a tight grip they use their razor sharp, beak-like mouth to tear their food apart and eat it.
