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

Imbaraga z'ubumara
Uturemangingo duto cyane ibihumbi dutera urubori turasa iyo hari ikidukozeho.
Ubumara bwayo bukora iki?
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
Niba itera urubori
- Sohoka mu mazi kandi ukureho imirya yayo (tentacles) yose ukoresheje uturindantoki cyangwa igitambaro.
- Ku box jellyfish zo mu turere dushyuha: suka vinegere aho zateye urubori nibura amasegonda 30, hamagara ubutabazi kandi witegure gukora CPR (gukanda igituza no guhumekera umuntu). Ku bluebottle no ku zindi nyinshi: oza n'amazi y'inyanja, hanyuma ukoreshe amazi ashyushye kubera ububabare.
Buri gihe banza uhamagare nimero y'ubutabazi (112, 000, 911). Izi ni inama rusange z'ubutabazi bw'ibanze, si inama za muganga. Ibanze by'ubutabazi bw'ibanze
Irinde akaga
- Ntuzigere ukora, ufata cyangwa ushotora inyamaswa yo mu gasozi, nubwo yaba ntoya, kandi nubwo yasa n'isinziriye cyangwa yapfuye.
- Yihe umwanya. Niba uhuye n'imwe, tuza, usubire inyuma buhoro buhoro kandi uyireke yigendere.
- Niba imwe igutereye urubori: tuza, ntunyeganyege, hamagara nimero y'ubutabazi (112, 000, 911) cyangwa ujye ku bitaro vuba. Ibuka uko yasaga, ifoto irafasha.
Ntigushakisha ngo ikugirire nabi. Ikoresha ubumara bwayo kugira ngo ifate ibyo kurya cyangwa yirinde, kandi ikunda cyane kwihisha. Ibindi ku kwirinda

Ibintu by'ukuri
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
