The giant green anemone is a sea animal that looks like a flower but is a relative of jellyfish. It lives on rocky and sandy shores along the Pacific coast of North America, where it is covered by water for most of the day. Its bright green colour comes partly from tiny algae that live inside its body and make food for it.1

Leef in

Pacific coast from Alaska to southern California, sometimes as far south as Panama1

Stille Oseaan

Tuis

It prefers sandy or rocky shorelines where water stays for most of the day, and it is found in tide pools. It is also sometimes found in deep channels of more exposed rocky shores and on concrete pilings in bays and harbours.1

Wat eet dit?

It catches prey with stinging cells in its tentacles. Its main food is detached mussels, and it also eats sea urchins, small fish and crabs. There are rare records of it eating seabirds.1

Hoe om dit te herken

Bright green when underwater in good sunlight.1
Dark green or brown when out of the water, because it closes up and droops, showing its darker outer body.1
Broad, flat top surface (oral disk) with no stripes, bands or other markings.1
Short, cone-shaped tentacles arranged in six or more rows around the mouth, with pointed or blunt tips.1

Word dikwels verwar met: Large giant green anemones can be confused with A. elegantissima or A. sola. Those two usually have pink-tipped tentacles and a striped oral disk, which the giant green anemone does not have.1

Gifkrag

Steektentakels

Duisende piepklein steekselle skiet af wanneer iets aan hulle raak.

Wat doen sy gif as dit byt of steek?

Stinging cells called nematocysts in the tentacles release a paralysing venom that helps the anemone catch prey.1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

Gevaar vir mense: LigSoos 'n bysteek of minder. Basies onskadelik vir mense.

Wat doen dit as dit bang is?

It uses its stinging cells in the tentacles to defend itself against predators.1

As dit steek

Klim uit die water en pluk enige tentakels af (met handskoene of 'n lap).
Vir tropiese kubuskwalle: gooi vir minstens 30 sekondes asyn oor die steke, roep hulp en wees gereed om KPR te doen. Vir bloublasies en die meeste ander: spoel af met seewater, dan warm water vir die pyn.

Bly veilig

Moet nooit aan 'n wilde dier raak, dit vang of terg nie, selfs nie 'n kleintjie nie, en selfs nie as dit lyk of dit slaap of dood is nie.
Gee dit spasie. As jy een raakloop, bly kalm, stap stadig terug en laat dit sy eie pad gaan.
As een jou steek: bly kalm, bly stil, bel jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911) of kom vinnig by 'n hospitaal uit. Onthou hoe dit gelyk het, 'n foto help.

Dit is nie uit om jou te kry nie. Dit gebruik sy gif om kos te vang of om homself te beskerm, en kruip baie eerder weg. Meer oor veilig bly

Feite

Tiny algae living inside its body help feed it through photosynthesis and add to its bright green colour.1

It can have a crown of tentacles up to 25 cm across.1

Anemones in caves and shady places have few or no algae and are usually less colourful.1

Its main predators include a leather seastar, two nudibranchs and several snails and sea spiders.1
