The net fire coral is a colony-forming sea animal that looks like coral. It builds hard, lacy or box-shaped structures and lives in shallow tropical seas. Its sting is painful, so it is one to admire from a distance.1

Ekhaya
It lives on the seabed at depths of about 0.2 to 3 metres. It attaches itself to hard surfaces, and people can meet it when walking, snorkelling or diving on and around it.1

Sidlani?
It is a suspension feeder. Its polyps catch plankton and detritus (small bits of dead material) drifting in the surrounding water, then digest them in an internal cavity.1

Indlela yokusibona

  • Forms colonies up to 60 cm wide, and clumps of colonies may be several metres across.1
  • Starts as a flat, crust-like layer stuck to hard surfaces, then grows into lace-like, leaf-like blade or box-work shapes.1
  • Lace-like forms are more fragile and grow best in deeper, calmer water. Box-work forms cope better with harsher conditions.1
  • Has vibrant colours, given by symbiotic algae called zooxanthellae that live inside its tissues.1

Amandla obuthi

Ukuhlaba

Ubuthi buphuma ngodosi.

Ubuthi baso benzani?

Its stinging cells, called nematocysts, carry venom. The venom is fatal to many organisms but has not been found to be fatal to humans. Contact can cause extreme pain and burn-like wounds.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

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

Its sting has not been found to be fatal to humans. It can cause extreme pain, burn-like wounds and skin irritation that may last for up to two weeks.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

Its polyps catch floating food with stinging cells as well as with their feeding structures.1

2

When a colony breaks apart, its structure can change, for example from fragile lace-like growth to thicker box-work.1

3

Its colours come from symbiotic zooxanthellae, which also help it grow and recycle nutrients.1

4

A single colony can grow into a shape that depends on depth, location and how cloudy the water is.1

Umqothuli wezinganekwane

Inganekwane: Net fire coral stings are deadly to people.

Iqiniso: Its venom is fatal to many organisms, but it has not been found to be fatal to humans. Its sting is still very painful and can leave burn-like wounds.1

It spawns in a synchronised release of eggs and sperm (gametes) between April and May, and gametes can still be present in June. The fertilised young drift on currents and settle on the seafloor to start new colonies.1
