Hell's fire anemone
會螫人的觸手Hell's fire anemone is a sea anemone, a soft animal that lives fixed to the seabed. It lives in the Indo-Pacific, growing at depths of down to 28 metres. Most sea anemones are harmless to people, but this one is highly venomous, so it is one to keep away from.1

怎麼認出牠
- Tentacles are colourless and about 10 to 20 cm long.1
- Branches repeatedly into branchlets, so the whole head of tentacles looks like broccoli.1
- Stripes radiate out from the mouth on the oral disc, which can be 10 to 20 cm across.1
- Tentacles grow in rings (whorls) of six, twelve and twenty-four as the animal gets bigger.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?
This sea anemone is highly venomous. Its sting can cause severe skin ulcers.1
牠對人有多危險?
對人的危險: 嚴重被螫了需要看醫生。死亡案例非常罕見。It is highly venomous, and its sting can cause severe skin ulcers. Most other sea anemone species are harmless to humans, so this one is an exception.1
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
