The giant Caribbean sea anemone is a large, colourful sea animal that looks like a soft, flower-shaped blob on the seabed. It lives in shallow reefs and calm inshore waters in the Caribbean and western Atlantic. Its sting is strong enough to stun the fish and shrimp it eats.1

Sihlala
Caribbean Sea and West Indies, and the western Atlantic from southern Florida through the Florida Keys; also common in Bermuda1
uLwandlekazi lweAtlantiki, uLwandle lweKharibhiya, iGulf yaseMexico
Ekhaya
It is usually found in crevices in rock walls, or attached to a rock, shell or other hard object in shallow water with full-strength seawater most of the time. It is very common around reefs, in both forereef and lagoon areas.1
Ubude

Sitya ntoni?
It eats fish, mussels, shrimp, zooplankton and sea worms. Its stinging cells paralyse the prey, which is then carried to the mouth and swallowed whole.1

Indlela yokusiqaphela

  • Grows about 15 cm high and 30 cm wide, with a disc up to about 40 cm across1
  • Body can be white, light blue, pink, orange, pale red or light brown1
  • More than 100 tentacles surround the mouth1
  • Tentacle tips may be purple or rose-coloured, or may be paler than the body1
  • Grows singly or in loose groups, never as colonies1

Amandla etyhefu yokuluma nokuhlaba

Ii-tentacle ezihlabayo

Amawaka eeseli ezincinci ezihlabayo ziyadubula xa kukho into ezichukumisayo.

Ityhefu yaso yokuluma okanye yokuhlaba yenza ntoni?

Its stinging cells (nematocysts) at the tentacle tips contain a toxin called CgNa. When the stinging cells fire, they impale the attacker and release the toxin, which causes extreme pain and paralysis.1

Senza ntoni xa soyika?

When threatened it shrinks by pulling its tentacles into its body and forcing out most of the water, which reduces the surface a predator can attack.1

Ukuba siyahlaba

  • Phuma emanzini kwaye ususe naziphi na ii-tentacle (ngeiglavu okanye ngelaphu).
  • Kwiijelifishi zebhokisi (box jellyfish) zasetropiki: thela iviniga kwiindawo ezihlatyiweyo ubuncinane imizuzwana engama-30, biza uncedo kwaye ulungele ukwenza i-CPR. Kwii-bluebottle nakwezinye ezininzi: hlambulula ngamanzi olwandle, emva koko usebenzise amanzi ashushu ngenxa yeentlungu.

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

Iinyaniso

1

Its nerve cells contain proteins that are molecularly similar to those in mammal nerve cells, which helps scientists study how nervous systems evolved.1

2

Fish and cleaner shrimp shelter among its tentacles, and it serves as a base station for fish cleaning.1

3

Although mostly stuck in place, it can crawl very slowly on its base, the pedal disc.1

4

Its larvae carry their own food in a yolk, so starvation is unlikely and they can drift far to spread out.1

5

Most individuals are either male or female, with a roughly equal ratio of the two sexes, though they occasionally have both.1

Eggs and sperm are released into the water, where fertilisation happens. The fertilised egg becomes a larva that settles on the seabed and grows into an adult.1
