The blue button is a small sea creature that floats on the surface of warm oceans. It looks like a jellyfish, but it is really a colony of tiny animals called polyps. Its sting is not powerful, but it can cause slight skin irritation.1

It lives on or near the surface of the sea and drifts with the currents and wind. Recent reports describe large numbers washing up along coastlines in Japan, and increases in the Ionian and Adriatic seas.1

它吃什么?
It is a passive drifter, so it relies on currents and wind to bring food. It mainly feeds on copepods and crustacean larvae, and it can also hunt active crustaceans such as crabs and fish.1

怎样认出它

  • A round, almost flat, hard golden brown float about one inch (2.5 cm) wide1
  • Bright blue turquoise to yellow polyps hanging from the float1
  • Blue strands with knobs of stinging cells at the tips1
  • Looks similar to a jellyfish, but each 'individual' is a colony of polyps1

常被误认为: It looks superficially like a jellyfish. It is related to Velella and to the Portuguese man o' war, which are also colonial animals that float on the surface.1

毒液之力

会蜇人的触手

一碰到东西,成千上万个小刺细胞就会发射。

它的毒液会造成什么?

It has stinging cells called nematocysts at the tips of its tentacle-like strands. The sting is not powerful and may cause slight irritation to human skin.1

它对人有多危险?

对人的危险: 轻微像被蜜蜂蜇一下或更轻。对人基本无害。

The sting is not powerful and may cause slight irritation. In recent years, the first recorded case of contact dermatitis (a skin rash caused by contact) from this species was reported in Japan.1

如果它蜇人

  • 离开水面,取下所有触手(戴手套或用布)。
  • 热带箱水母:在蜇伤处倒醋至少 30 秒,呼救,并准备好做心肺复苏。僧帽水母和大多数其他水母:先用海水冲洗,再用热水止痛。

一定先拨打你的急救电话(112、000、911)。这里是一般急救指导,不是医疗建议。 急救基础

注意安全

  • 永远不要摸、抓或逗弄野生动物,即使是很小的,即使它看起来在睡觉或已经死了。
  • 给它留出空间。如果遇到它,保持冷静,慢慢后退,让它走自己的路。
  • 如果被它蜇了:保持冷静,保持不动,拨打你的急救电话(112、000、911)或尽快去医院。记住它长什么样,拍张照片会有帮助。

它不是冲着你来的。它用毒液捕猎或保护自己,而且它更愿意躲起来。 更多安全知识

事实

1

Each apparent individual is actually a colony of hydrozoan polyps, not a single animal.1

2

Young Malabar trevally fish shelter under the floats and panic when removed from them.1

3

Young Malabar trevally fish appear to prefer a particular colony and will return to their own partner when separated and put back in the same tank.1

4

It is preyed on by sea slugs known as blue dragons and by violet sea-snails of the genus Janthina.1

5

The blue button has a single mouth under its float, which it uses for both eating and removing waste.1

谣言粉碎机

谣言: A blue button is a single jellyfish-like animal.

真相: Each blue button is a colony of hydrozoan polyps, which are related to anemones, corals and jellyfish.1
