The flower urchin is a sea urchin with flower-shaped claws that can sting. It lives on coral reefs, in seagrass beds and on rocky or sandy sea floors across the Indo-West Pacific. It is one of the sea urchins most likely to cause a painful and medically significant sting.1

Sihlala

Tropical Indo-West Pacific, from Okinawa (Japan) south to Tasmania (Australia), and west from the Red Sea and East African coast east to Rarotonga (Cook Islands)1

uLwandlekazi lwaseIndiya, uLwandlekazi lwePasifiki, uLwandle oluBomvu, uLwandle lweCoral, uLwandle lwePhilippines, uLwandle lweTimor ne-Arafura, iBhayi yaseBengal

Ekhaya

It is found among coral reefs, coral rubble, rocks, sand and seagrass beds, at depths from the surface down to 90 m. It may partly bury itself in the sea floor. Its habitat includes coral reef areas where people snorkel and dive.1

Ubude

15 cm ukuya ku-20 cm (5,9 in ukuya ku-7,9 in)1

Esona santya siphezulu

malunga ne-0,02 km/h (0,01 mph)

Sitya ntoni?

It feeds on algae, bryozoans (small colonial animals) and organic detritus (decaying material). It grinds its food with five calcareous teeth known as Aristotle's lantern.1

Indlela yokusiqaphela

Flower-like claws (globiferous pedicellariae) that are pinkish-white to yellowish-white, with a central purple dot and a bright white rim1
A rigid shell (test) that is deep red and grey, with a purple zigzag pattern along each of the five ambulacral segments; rarely it is greenish or pale purple1
Short, blunt spines, usually hidden beneath the flower-like claws1
A body diameter of about 15 to 20 cm1

Sidla ngokubhidaniswa no: Other Toxopneustes urchins look similar. Toxopneustes roseus has a uniform pink, brown or purple test and lives only in the eastern Pacific. Toxopneustes elegans, found only around Japan, has a dark stripe just below the tips of its spines. Toxopneustes maculatus is very rare, known from Réunion, Christmas Island and Palmyra Atoll, and has bright violet on its underside and a violet band around its middle.1

Amandla etyhefu yokuluma nokuhlaba

Ukuhlaba

Ityhefu iphuma ngenaliti yokuhlaba.

Ityhefu yaso yokuluma okanye yokuhlaba yenza ntoni?

Its venom is made in glands at the base of the flower-like claws, not in the spines. The claws have sharp fang-like tips that can penetrate human skin, and when touched they snap shut and inject venom. The sting is described as extremely painful and medically significant.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Ingozi ebantwini: Siyingozi kakhuluSinokubulala umntu ongafumani nyango.

It is considered highly dangerous to people. Its stings are extremely painful and medically significant. Larger individuals with bigger claws are thought to be more dangerous, because the strength of the venom is linked to claw size.1

Senza ntoni xa soyika?

When touched or brushed against, its flower-like claws snap shut and inject venom. The claws can break off and stay attached to the skin, continuing to inject venom for several hours.1

Ukuba siyahlaba

Faka inxeba emanzini ashushu, ashushu kangangoko umntu angakwazi ukunyamezela ngaphandle kokutshiswa, kwaye ufumane uncedo lwezonyango ukuze kususwe amava. Musa ukuwemba ngokwakho.

Soloko utsalela inombolo kaxakeka kuqala (112, 000, 911). Esi sisikhokelo soncedo lokuqala ngokubanzi, asilocebiso lwezonyango. Iziseko zoncedo lokuqala

Hlala ukhuselekile

Ungaze uchukumise, ubambe okanye uqhule isilwanyana sasendle, nokuba sincinci, kwaye nokuba sibonakala silele okanye sifile.
Sinike indawo. Ukuba udibana naso, hlala uzolile, buyela umva kancinci kwaye usiyeke sihambe ngendlela yaso.
Ukuba siyakuhlaba: hlala uzolile, musa ukushukuma, tsalela inombolo kaxakeka (112, 000, 911) okanye uye esibhedlele ngokukhawuleza. Khumbula ukuba sasikhangeleka njani, ifoto iyanceda.

Asikuzingeli. Sisebenzisa ityhefu yaso ukubamba ukutya okanye ukuzikhusela, kwaye singakhetha ukuzimela. Okungakumbi malunga nokuhlala ukhuselekile

kufanelekile ukwazi

Iinyaniso

Unlike most venomous sea urchins, it does not sting through its spines. Its venom is delivered through the claws.1

A zebra crab, Zebrida adamsii, often lives attached to its shell. The crab is thought to be immune to its venom.1

Its flower-like claws are the source of its common name and are its most striking feature.1

Tiny shrimp, Athanas areteformis, sometimes live among its spines.1

In the seashell trade, its empty shells are called "mushroom urchins" because they look like mushroom caps.1

Umqhekezi weentsomi

Intsomi: Sea urchins sting with their spines.

Inyaniso: Flower urchins do not deliver venom through their spines. Their venom comes from the flower-like claws, which snap shut and inject it.1
