Pyrocystis fusiformis is a type of bioluminescent algae that glows when it’s moved or agitated – basically nature’s version of holiday lights! We’re always looking for fun ways to show off this natural phenomenon, and this holiday-themed setup is a cool example of how versatile it can be. It’s like having living, glowing ornaments!

Wow, that’s pretty cool! Can you post another video? It’s kind of hard to tell what’s going on, with just a glimpse, and the camera is out of focus most of the time.
