Haddon's sea anemone
Haddon's sea anemone is a large, colourful sea anemone that lives on sandy sea floors in warm waters. It is a host for several kinds of clownfish, which shelter among its tentacles. In Thailand it is also known as a food, even though it is protected there.1

怎麼認出牠
- Its folded oral disc can reach 50–80 cm across.1
- A tentacle-free area of 1–2 cm surrounds the mouth.1
- The tentacles are yellowish or tan, with tips that are green, yellow or grey, and rarely blue or pink.1
- Short and long tentacles alternate around the edge of the disc.1
- The column is usually the same colour as the body, so its small bumps are hard to see.1
毒液力量
有東西碰到時,成千上萬個小小的刺細胞就會發射。
牠的毒液有什麼作用?
Its tentacles release toxins, such as SHTX, that immobilise small prey like small invertebrates and young fish.1
牠對人有多危險?
對人的危險: 疼痛可能會非常痛,但幾乎從來不會很嚴重。
如果牠螫人
- 離開水裡,把觸手拿掉(戴手套或用布)。
- 熱帶箱形水母:在螫傷處倒醋至少 30 秒,求救,並準備好做心肺復甦術(CPR)。藍瓶水母和大多數其他水母:用海水沖洗,再用熱水止痛。
一定要先打緊急電話(112、000、911)。這是一般急救指引,不是醫療建議。 急救基本知識
注意安全
- 絕對不要碰、抓或捉弄野生動物,就算是很小的動物,就算牠看起來在睡覺或已經死了也一樣。
- 給牠空間。如果遇到了,保持冷靜,慢慢往後退,讓牠自己離開。
- 如果被牠螫了:保持冷靜,保持不動,打緊急電話(112、000、911)或趕快去醫院。記住牠的樣子,有照片會很有幫助。
牠不是想來抓你。牠用毒液來捕捉食物或保護自己,而且牠更想躲起來。 更多安全知識

小知識
It is home to six species of clownfish, including the Saddleback and Clark's anemonefish.1
On islands such as Ko Samui and Ko Pha-ngan, it is used in a seasonal dish called Kaeng kua, even though it is a protected animal in Thailand.1
In Thailand it is called Hed lub, meaning 'bob up and down mushroom', because it looks like a mushroom that pops up and down.1
Juvenile Dascyllus trimaculatus also live among its tentacles.1
Several other animals, such as a porcelain crab and squat shrimp, live with it without clearly benefiting it.1
