Acielot Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 http://www.warrenphotographic.co.uk/photog...chaete-worm.jpg Last night I turned off the lights in my tank for an hour or so to see if my pods were coming out and before I turned the lights on I noticed about 3 dozen small green glows that are very faint. I turned the lights on but i couldn't identify what was causing the glow I saw some polychaete worms near the glow but i am unsure if it is them or not. Has anyone else had this or any bioluminescent organism? Link to comment
redhawk45 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I don't know much about worms...I had my fair share of bristle worms in my tank. That worm was awesome, though. You don't normally hear about bioluminescent critters in tanks - flourescent yea, but not bioluminescent...lol. Link to comment

I think the name is dinoflagellates bioluminescence. Link to comment
lakshwadeep Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I think I've seen similar worms once or twice in an old tank, but I didn't know what they were. Link to comment
