Banded sea urchin
Miiba yenye sumuThe banded sea urchin is a spiny sea animal that lives on tropical reefs and in lagoons across the Indo-Pacific. It is active at night and hides in cracks or under rocks during the day. Its thin spines can deliver a sting, although the sting is not dangerous.1

Jinsi ya kumtambua
- It has a slightly oval shell (test) about 5 cm across.1
- It has two kinds of spines: short, slender spines that run from yellow to dark, and longer, thicker spines that are often banded with light and dark colour.1
- The longer spines reach 10 to 15 cm and can be blunt and hollow.1
- Five bare zones in a star pattern show on the middle of the shell, and these can look blue.1
Mara nyingi huchanganywa na: Dark forms can look like Diadema setosum or Diadema savignyi. Diadema savignyi is bigger, more uniformly black, and has five white spots on top of its shell and an orange ring around its anus. The most common mix-up is Echinothrix diadema, which can have banded spines when young. Echinothrix diadema has a very small, all-black anal papilla and blue-sheened spines, and its spines do not crush easily, unlike the spines of the banded sea urchin.1
Nguvu ya sumu
Miiba mikali hubeba sumu. Kumkanyaga au kumshika kunauma.
Sumu yake hufanya nini?
The thinner, short spines are venomous, meaning they deliver venom through a sting. The sting is nasty, but the venom is not dangerous.1
Ana hatari gani kwa watu?
Hatari kwa watu: InaumaInaweza kuuma sana, lakini karibu kamwe si jambo zito.The thinner spines are venomous but not dangerous.1
Miiba yake ikikuchoma
- Weka jeraha kwenye maji ya moto, moto kiasi ambacho mtu anaweza kuvumilia bila kuungua, na utafute msaada wa kitabibu kuondoa miiba. Usiichokonoe mwenyewe.
Daima piga namba ya dharura kwanza (112, 000, 911). Huu ni mwongozo wa jumla wa huduma ya kwanza, si ushauri wa kitabibu. Misingi ya huduma ya kwanza
Kaa salama
- Kamwe usimguse, kumkamata wala kumchokoza mnyama wa porini, hata akiwa mdogo, na hata akionekana amelala au amekufa.
- Mpe nafasi. Ukikutana naye, tulia, rudi nyuma polepole na umwache aende zake.
- Miiba yake ikikuchoma: tulia, usitikisike, piga namba yako ya dharura (112, 000, 911) au nenda hospitali haraka. Kumbuka alivyoonekana, picha husaidia.
Hakuwindi wewe. Hutumia sumu yake kukamata chakula au kujilinda, na hupendelea zaidi kujificha. Zaidi kuhusu kukaa salama

Ukweli
Its anal papilla is large and whitish with black and white dots, and a ring of visual receptors around it gives it basic vision.1
Young cardinal fish from the family Apogonidae often hide among the spines for protection.1
In Hawaii, this sea urchin often carries a symbiotic crab, Echinoecus pentagonus, that lives with it.1
It is active at night and spends the day hidden in crevices or under rocks.1
