Firefly (species unknown) with and without flash. Foxfire in the fungus Panellus stipticus Blue ocean glow caused by myriad tiny organisms, such as Noctiluca. Noctiluca scintillans, a bioluminescent dinoflagellate. Bioluminescence is the production of light by living organisms.
Bioluminescence in fish began at least by the Cretaceous period. About 1,500 fish species are known to be bioluminescent; the capability evolved independently at least 27 times. Of these, 17 involved the taking up of bioluminous bacteria from the surrounding water while in the others, the intrinsic light evolved through chemical synthesis.

The waves of bioluminescence that move within a colony are apparently not propagated by neurons, but by a photic stimulation process. [12] Flashing zooids not only stimulate other zooids within the colony to luminesce, but nearby colonies will also display bioluminescence in response. Colonies will luminesce in response to touch, as well as to ...
