Branching fire coral is not a true coral, even though it looks like one. It is a relative of jellyfish that lives on shallow tropical reefs in the western Atlantic and can sting people who touch it. It is an important part of the reef community.1

Anaishi

Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, Florida, Cape Verde Islands, Central and South America to Brazil, Canary Islands, Madeira and Bermuda1

Bahari ya Atlantiki, Bahari ya Karibi, Ghuba ya Meksiko

Nyumbani

It grows on shallow coral reefs, rocks, dead corals and even the hulls of wrecked ships, at depths of up to 40 metres. Divers are the people most likely to meet it.1

Urefu

50 cm (1.6 ft)1

Kasi ya juu

takriban km 0.01 kwa saa (maili 0.01 kwa saa)

Kuogelea, makadirio

Hula nini?

It feeds on plankton. Its hairlike tentacles sting prey to immobilise it, then pass the food into a stomach-like polyp for digestion.1

Jinsi ya kumtambua

Its branches are cylindrical and grow in a single plane.1
Branches range in colour from brown to pale, cream-like yellow, with white tips.1
In surf-battered outer reef edges it forms flat plates or blades.1
In calm, deep or sheltered water it grows upright, leafy or branched, up to 50 cm tall.1

Nguvu ya sumu

Kudungwa

Sumu hutoka kupitia mdungo.

Sumu yake hufanya nini?

Its sting injects a water-soluble protein venom. The venom causes a painful burning sensation, skin eruptions, blisters and scarring.1

Ana hatari gani kwa watu?

Hatari kwa watu: InaumaInaweza kuuma sana, lakini karibu kamwe si jambo zito.

It can cause painful stings to unwary divers. Its cells are strong enough to sting human skin.1

Akidunga

Toka majini na uondoe vipande vya mikono iliyonata (kwa glavu au kitambaa).
Kwa yavuyavu sanduku wa kitropiki: mimina siki kwenye sehemu zilizodungwa kwa angalau sekunde 30, omba msaada na uwe tayari kufanya CPR. Kwa mabotoli ya bluu na wengine wengi: suuza kwa maji ya bahari, kisha maji ya moto kupunguza maumivu.

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.
Akikudunga: 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

When it grows near a sea fan, it grows special 'attack' branches that wrap around and smother the fan.1

It is not a true coral. It belongs to the class Hydrozoa and is more closely related to jellyfish than to stony corals.1

Small fish and shrimp shelter among its branches and seem unaffected by its venom.1

It is one of the first corals to bleach in warm water, but it recovers from damage faster than most other corals.1

About 75% of its energy comes from microscopic algae living in its tissues.1

Kuvunja dhana potofu

Dhana potofu: It is a true coral like the stony corals that build reefs.

Ukweli: It is not a true coral. It is a hydrozoan, more closely related to jellyfish.1
