The Magical World of Living Light
This is the mysterious spectacle of bioluminescence. Its hard not to revel in the beauty of this remarkable natural phenomenon. These glowing creatures are primarily a product of the ocean. They are the primary source of light in the largest and darkest area of habitable land on Earth, the deep sea. On land, they are most commonly seen as glowing fungus on wood (foxfire) or in the few families of luminous insects (fireflies).

Spotted Jellyfish (Mastigias papua)
Also known as the lagoon jellyfish or takokurage, the spotted jellyfish is a species of jellyfish found throughout the Indo-Pacific. Unlike other jellies the spotted jelly has several small mouth openings on their oral arms instead of one large one in the middle. They also have colonies of symbiotic algae in its tissues which gives it a greenish color and food for it to eat, however they will also eat zooplankton that they catch with their arms.
