Sidlani?
At night, or in dim light, it spreads its tentacles to search the water for small invertebrates. It stuns them with its stinging cells and eats them. It also gets much of its energy from symbiotic algae that make sugars in sunlight.1

Indlela yokusibona

  • Small and pale brown, with a base about 1 cm across1
  • A crown of about 50 relatively long tentacles on top1
  • A ring of branching, pale brown pseudo-tentacles halfway up the body1
  • Grey, pink or green bulges called vesicles on the pseudo-tentacles1
  • In daylight its pseudo-tentacles look dark brown, because of the algae they contain1

Amandla obuthi

Ama-tentacle ahlabayo

Izinkulungwane zamaseli amancane ahlabayo ziyadubula uma kukhona okuzithintayo.

Ubuthi baso benzani?

Its stinging cells, called cnidocytes, are packed into the vesicles and tentacles. The venom is strong enough to stun small prey. In the Red Sea it is reported to be one of the most venomous sea anemones, and the toxic agent is very stable, resisting chemicals and heat.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Ingozi ebantwini: KubuhlunguKungaba buhlungu ngempela, kodwa cishe akukaze kube kubi kakhulu.

In the Red Sea it is reported to be one of the most venomous sea anemones. Stings to bare skin cause pain and swelling.1

Senzani uma sesabile?

Its vesicles, which are well armed with stinging cells, protect the pseudo-tentacles, which might otherwise look like food to a predator.1

Uma sihlaba

  • Phuma emanzini bese ukhipha noma yimiphi imicu ehlabayo (ama-tentacle) (ngamagilavu noma ngendwangu).
  • Kuma-box jellyfish asezindaweni ezishisayo: thela uviniga ezindaweni ezihlatshiwe okungenani imizuzwana engama-30, biza usizo futhi ulungele ukwenza i-CPR. Kuma-bluebottle nakwamanye amaningi: hlanza ngamanzi olwandle, bese usebenzisa amanzi ashisayo ngenxa yobuhlungu.

Njalo shayela kuqala inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911). Lokhu kuyiseluleko sosizo lokuqala esijwayelekile, akusona iseluleko sezokwelapha. Izisekelo zosizo lokuqala

Hlala uphephile

  • Ungalokothi uthinte, ubambe noma ugcone isilwane sasendle, ngisho noma sincane, futhi ngisho noma sibukeka silele noma sifile.
  • Sinike isikhala. Uma uhlangana naso, hlala uzolile, uhlehle kancane bese usiyeka sihambe ngendlela yaso.
  • Uma sikuhlaba: hlala uzolile, ungashukumi, shayela inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911) noma uye esibhedlela ngokushesha. Khumbula ukuthi besibukeka kanjani, isithombe siyasiza.

Asikuzingeli wena. Sisebenzisa ubuthi baso ukuze sibambe ukudla noma ukuzivikela, futhi singancamela ukucasha. Okwengeziwe mayelana nokuhlala uphephile

Amaqiniso

1

Boxer crabs of the genus Lybia hold one of these anemones in each claw and wave it like a weapon to keep predators away.1

If a crab loses one anemone, it can tear the other in half, and each half grows into a new individual.1

3

The crab uses its anemones to stun and catch prey for itself.1

4

In one reported case, a sting left skin pain and swelling for several weeks, with a dark, blistered mark and long-lasting sensitivity.1

5

The anemones seem unharmed by being carried and used in this way.1
