Plate fire coral is a reef-building animal that looks like a coral but is actually a relative of jellyfish. It grows in shallow, sunny reef water across the Indo-Pacific, from the Red Sea and East Africa to northern Australia and French Polynesia. It matters because it helps build reefs and can give a painful burning sting.1

Nyumbani

It lives in the shallows of the reef crest, usually above 5 metres deep but sometimes down to 10 metres. It is also found in the surf zone and in the spur and groove zone, where waves are strong.1

Urefu

2 m hadi 3 m (6.6 ft hadi 9.8 ft)1

Kuogelea, makadirio

Hula nini?

It catches zooplankton, tiny animals floating in the water, using feeding polyps whose mouths open and close when food is present. It also gets nutrients from algae living inside its tissue, which make energy through photosynthesis.1

Jinsi ya kumtambua

Colonies are yellow-green or light-brown, and the tips may be white.1
It usually grows in plate-like or blade-like forms, though it can also form branches, fans or encrusting layers.1
Colonies often measure 200 to 300 cm across and can be up to 200 cm high.1

Mara nyingi huchanganywa na: Other fire corals, such as Millepora dichotoma and Millepora exaesa, are often confused with it. Plate fire coral is generally plate-like or blade-like, which helps tell it apart from them.1

Nguvu ya sumu

Kudungwa

Sumu hutoka kupitia mdungo.

Sumu yake hufanya nini?

Its defensive polyps carry stinging cells called nematocysts. Contact with them causes a burning sensation in humans.1

Ana hatari gani kwa watu?

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

Hufanya nini akiogopa?

Its defensive polyps have long tentacles that sting anything that touches them.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

Despite its name, plate fire coral is not a true coral. It belongs to the class Hydrozoa, which is separate from the stony and soft corals.1

It has two kinds of polyps: feeding polyps for catching food and defensive polyps with longer tentacles for protection.1

Its colonies can break into fragments during rough water, and these fragments can drift and start new colonies on nearby reefs.1

It can take many forms, including branches, fans, plates, blades and encrusting layers, and its shape depends on where it grows.1

It was once thought to have disappeared from the Eastern Pacific after bleaching events, but researchers later confirmed that its range extends back there.1

It helps build reefs in the Indo-Pacific region.1

Kuvunja dhana potofu

Dhana potofu: Plate fire coral is a true coral.

Ukweli: It is a hydrozoan, not a true coral, and is separate from the stony and soft corals.1
