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

Pagina iniziala

It is usually found in crevices in rock walls, or attached to a rock, shell or other hard object in shallow water with full-strength seawater most of the time. It is very common around reefs, in both forereef and lagoon areas.1

Tge mangia el?

It eats fish, mussels, shrimp, zooplankton and sea worms. Its stinging cells paralyse the prey, which is then carried to the mouth and swallowed whole.1

Tge fa ses tissi?

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

Tge fa el, cura ch'el ha tema?

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

Fatgs

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
