I didn't expect it to be so glowy

Most deep sea animals are glowy! Makes sense I think, there’s not a lot of light down there.

Fun fact - the first forms of photosynthesis were by red colored algaes and plankton - not green, because different colors of light penetrate the ocean to different levels.

Looks to me like only the tentacles are glowy, and the body and eyes are just reflecting the camera's light.
