Its bell has a pattern that looks like the face of a compass, which gives it its name. Its tentacles carry stinging cells, so it is best left alone.1

  • It has 24 tentacles arranged in eight groups of three.1
  • It has four oral arms that are noticeably longer than the tentacles and look folded and frilly.1
  • Juveniles lack the compass pattern. They look white and polka-dotted, with a reddish fringe on the bell edge.1

Ivamise ukudidaniswa ne: Records of this species from the southeastern Atlantic, including South Africa, were caused by confusion with close relatives: C. africana, C. fulgida and an undescribed species tentatively called "C. agulhensis".1

Amandla obuthi

Ama-tentacle ahlabayo

Izinkulungwane zamaseli amancane ahlabayo ziyadubula uma kukhona okuzithintayo.

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

Males release sperm from their mouths into the water, and females can fertilise sperm from several males.1

2

Adults often carry a parasite called Hyperia medusarum, which settles inside the body, especially the gonads.1

3

Compass jellyfish have very few predators. Leatherback sea turtles and ocean sunfish are known to eat them.1

4

Warmer winters allow longer release periods for young, and the species is predicted to move further north as the seas warm.1

Umqothuli wezinganekwane

Inganekwane: Compass jellyfish live in the southeastern Atlantic, including South Africa.

Iqiniso: Earlier records from there were due to confusion with close relatives. The species lives in the northeast Atlantic.1
