Additional Information
This jellyfish is capable of producing flashes of blue light by a quick release of Ca2+.  The components required for bioluminescence include a Calcium++ activated photoprotein, called aequorin, that emits a blue-green light, and an accessory green fluorescent protein (GFP), which accepts energy from aequorin and re-emits it as green light.

For further information about fluorescence, see References.
