Net fire coral
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

Engeri y'okukitegeera
- 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
Amaanyi g'obusagwa
Obusagwa buyita mu ggwa lyakyo eribojja.
Obusagwa bwakyo bukola ki?
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

- 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.

- 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 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
Omumenyi w'enfumo
Enfumo: Net fire coral stings are deadly to people.
Amazima: 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
