Giant green anemone
The giant green anemone is a sea animal that looks like a flower but is a relative of jellyfish. It lives on rocky and sandy shores along the Pacific coast of North America, where it is covered by water for most of the day. Its bright green colour comes partly from tiny algae that live inside its body and make food for it.1

Jinsi ya kumtambua
- Bright green when underwater in good sunlight.1
- Dark green or brown when out of the water, because it closes up and droops, showing its darker outer body.1
- Broad, flat top surface (oral disk) with no stripes, bands or other markings.1
- Short, cone-shaped tentacles arranged in six or more rows around the mouth, with pointed or blunt tips.1
Mara nyingi huchanganywa na: Large giant green anemones can be confused with A. elegantissima or A. sola. Those two usually have pink-tipped tentacles and a striped oral disk, which the giant green anemone does not have.1
Nguvu ya sumu
Maelfu ya seli ndogo za kudunga hufyatuka kitu kikizigusa.
Sumu yake hufanya nini?
Stinging cells called nematocysts in the tentacles release a paralysing venom that helps the anemone catch prey.1
Ana hatari gani kwa watu?
Hatari kwa watu: HafifuKama kudungwa na nyuki au chini ya hapo. Kimsingi hana madhara kwa watu.Hufanya nini akiogopa?
It uses its stinging cells in the tentacles to defend itself against predators.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
Tiny algae living inside its body help feed it through photosynthesis and add to its bright green colour.1
It can have a crown of tentacles up to 25 cm across.1
Anemones in caves and shady places have few or no algae and are usually less colourful.1
Its main predators include a leather seastar, two nudibranchs and several snails and sea spiders.1
