Giant Caribbean sea anemone
The giant Caribbean sea anemone is a large, colourful sea animal that looks like a soft, flower-shaped blob on the seabed. It lives in shallow reefs and calm inshore waters in the Caribbean and western Atlantic. Its sting is strong enough to stun the fish and shrimp it eats.1

Engeri y'okukitegeera
- Grows about 15 cm high and 30 cm wide, with a disc up to about 40 cm across1
- Body can be white, light blue, pink, orange, pale red or light brown1
- More than 100 tentacles surround the mouth1
- Tentacle tips may be purple or rose-coloured, or may be paler than the body1
- Grows singly or in loose groups, never as colonies1
Amaanyi g'obusagwa
Enkumi n'enkumi z'obutoffaali obutono obubojja zikuba ekintu bwe kizikwatako.
Obusagwa bwakyo bukola ki?
Its stinging cells (nematocysts) at the tentacle tips contain a toxin called CgNa. When the stinging cells fire, they impale the attacker and release the toxin, which causes extreme pain and paralysis.1

When threatened it shrinks by pulling its tentacles into its body and forcing out most of the water, which reduces the surface a predator can attack.1
Bwe kibojja
- Va mu mazzi era ggyako ebiwuuzi (tentacles) byonna (ng'okozesa ggalavu oba olugoye).
- Ku box jellyfish ez'omu bitundu ebibuguma: yiwa viniga ku bifo ebibojjeddwa okumala waakiri sikonda 30, kuba essimu okufuna obuyambi era beera mwetegefu okukola CPR. Ku bluebottles n'endala ezisinga: yozaayo n'amazzi g'ennyanja, oluvannyuma amazzi agookya olw'obulumi.
Bulijjo sooka kuba ennamba y'ebigwa bitalaze (112, 000, 911). Buno bulagirizi bwa bujjanjabi obusooka obwa bulijjo, si kuwabula kwa musawo. Obujjanjabi obusooka obw'omusingi
Weekuume
- Tokwatako, tokwata wadde okusoomooza ensolo ey'omu nsiko, ne bw'eba ntono, era ne bw'eba erabika nga yeebase oba nga efudde.
- Gireke n'ebbanga. Bw'osisinkana emu, beera mukkakkamu, dda emabega mpola era gireke egende mu kkubo lyayo.
- Bw'emu ekubojja: beera mukkakkamu, totambula, kuba ennamba y'ebigwa bitalaze (112, 000, 911) oba tuuka mu ddwaliro mangu. Jjukira bwe yali efaanana, ekifaananyi kiyamba.
Tekikunoonya. Kikozesa obusagwa bwakyo okukwata emmere oba okwekuuma, era kyandisinze kwekweka. Ebirala ku kwekuuma

Ebituufu
Its nerve cells contain proteins that are molecularly similar to those in mammal nerve cells, which helps scientists study how nervous systems evolved.1
Fish and cleaner shrimp shelter among its tentacles, and it serves as a base station for fish cleaning.1
Although mostly stuck in place, it can crawl very slowly on its base, the pedal disc.1
Its larvae carry their own food in a yolk, so starvation is unlikely and they can drift far to spread out.1
Most individuals are either male or female, with a roughly equal ratio of the two sexes, though they occasionally have both.1

- Eggs and sperm are released into the water, where fertilisation happens. The fertilised egg becomes a larva that settles on the seabed and grows into an adult.1
