Christmas tree hydroid
The Christmas tree hydroid is a small, branching sea creature that grows in colonies on rocks and hard surfaces in shallow water. It is found in warm seas around the world, and it is common in the Mediterranean Sea. Scientists have used it to study how animals catch their prey.1

Indlela yokusibona
- Colonies have many branching stems, up to 30 cm high, arranged in a tree-like shape1
- The stalks are dark brown or blackish, but are often coated with algae and diatoms, giving them a muddy look1
- The tiny whitish polyps are tinged with red1
- Each polyp has many slender tentacles at its base and up to twelve tentacles with knobbed tips around its mouth1
Amandla obuthi
Ubuthi buphuma ngodosi.
Ubuthi baso benzani?
Contact with a rope on which this hydroid was growing caused an acute, painful skin inflammation (dermatitis) in several people. Contact with the stinging cells on its tentacles is the cause.1
Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?
Ingozi ebantwini: KubuhlunguKungaba buhlungu ngempela, kodwa cishe akukaze kube kubi kakhulu.Several people who touched a rope covered in this hydroid got an acute, painful dermatitis. No deaths are known.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
Kuphi emhlabeni?
Sikhulu kangakanani?

sihamba kancane kunomnenke wasengadiniChristmas tree hydroid mkhulu kangakanani uma uqhathanisa NAWE?
Yizibalo nje kusiphequluli sakho. Akukho okulondolozwayo noma okuthunyelwa ndawo.

Amaqiniso
It has spread around the world largely through people's maritime activities, by attaching to ships and structures.1
It has been used in research into how animals capture their prey.1
Colonies grow by budding, which forms new feeding polyps.1
Its free-swimming larvae drift with the plankton before settling on a hard surface.1

- Izinsana
- Females release up to six eggs. Each embryo develops within a day or so into a free-swimming larva called a planula, which later settles on a hard surface to start a new colony.1
