Phenotypic features define feeding selectivity in planktonic predators and therefore determine energy flow through food webs. In current‐feeding cnidarian hydromedusae, swimming and predation are coupled such that swimming also brings prey into contact with feeding structures. Fluid mechanical disturbances may initiate escape responses by flow‐sensing prey. Previous studies have not considered how fluid signals define the trophic niche of current‐feeding gelatinous predators. We used the hydromedusaClytia gregariato determine (1) how passive (sinking) and active (swimming) feeding behavior affects pre‐encounter responses of prey to the medusae‐induced fluid motion, and (2) how prey responses affect the medusae's ingestion efficiencies. Videography of the predation process showed that passive prey such as invertebrate larvae were ingested during both feeding behaviors, whereas flow‐sensing prey such as copepods escaped the predator's active feeding behavior, but were unable to detect the predator's passive sinking behavior and were ingested (KWX2= 19.8246, df = 4,p< 0.001). Flow visualizations using particle image velocimetry (PIV) showed fluid deformation values during passive feeding below threshold values that trigger escape responses of copepods. To address whether fluid signals mediate prey capture, we compared fluid signals produced by three hydromedusae with different diets.Aequorea victoriaandMitrocoma cellulariaproduced higher deformation thanC. gregaria(two‐way ANOVA,F2,52= 5.532,p= 0.007), which explains their previously documented negative selection for flow‐sensing prey like copepods. Through the analysis of hydromedusan feeding behaviors and pre‐encounter prey escapes, we provide evidence that fluid signatures shape the trophic niches of gelatinous predators.
