The net fire coral is a colony-forming sea animal that looks like coral. It builds hard, lacy or box-shaped structures and lives in shallow tropical seas. Its sting is painful, so it is one to admire from a distance.1

Leef in

Republic of Mauritius, the Red Sea and the Indo-West Pacific region1

Stille Oseaan, Indiese Oseaan, Rooi See, Koraalsee, Filippynse See, Timorsee & Arafurasee

Tuis

It lives on the seabed at depths of about 0.2 to 3 metres. It attaches itself to hard surfaces, and people can meet it when walking, snorkelling or diving on and around it.1

Lengte

60 cm (2 ft)1

Topspoed

omtrent 0,01 km/h (0,01 mph)

Swem, rowwe skatting

Wat eet dit?

It is a suspension feeder. Its polyps catch plankton and detritus (small bits of dead material) drifting in the surrounding water, then digest them in an internal cavity.1

Hoe om dit te herken

Forms colonies up to 60 cm wide, and clumps of colonies may be several metres across.1
Starts as a flat, crust-like layer stuck to hard surfaces, then grows into lace-like, leaf-like blade or box-work shapes.1
Lace-like forms are more fragile and grow best in deeper, calmer water. Box-work forms cope better with harsher conditions.1
Has vibrant colours, given by symbiotic algae called zooxanthellae that live inside its tissues.1

Gifkrag

Steke

Gif kom deur 'n angel uit.

Wat doen sy gif as dit byt of steek?

Its stinging cells, called nematocysts, carry venom. The venom is fatal to many organisms but has not been found to be fatal to humans. Contact can cause extreme pain and burn-like wounds.1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

Gevaar vir mense: PynlikDit kan regtig seermaak, maar dit is amper nooit ernstig nie.

Its sting has not been found to be fatal to humans. It can cause extreme pain, burn-like wounds and skin irritation that may last for up to two weeks.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.

Bel altyd eers jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911). Dit is algemene noodhulpraad, nie mediese advies nie. Noodhulp-basiese beginsels

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

die moeite werd om te weet

Feite

Its polyps catch floating food with stinging cells as well as with their feeding structures.1

When a colony breaks apart, its structure can change, for example from fragile lace-like growth to thicker box-work.1

Its colours come from symbiotic zooxanthellae, which also help it grow and recycle nutrients.1

A single colony can grow into a shape that depends on depth, location and how cloudy the water is.1

Mite-breker

Mite: Net fire coral stings are deadly to people.

Waarheid: Its venom is fatal to many organisms, but it has not been found to be fatal to humans. Its sting is still very painful and can leave burn-like wounds.1
