The post features a short video of Anomalops katoptron, known as flashlight fish, displaying their bioluminescent "headlights"—glowing blue spots under their eyes that flicker on and off while swimming in a dark tank, captivating viewers with an otherworldly appearance.
These light organs house symbiotic bacteria that produce blue-green light through luciferin oxidation, enabling the fish to hunt plankton, school in synchronized patterns at night, and communicate; a 2017 study in Scientific Reports confirmed their use in prey detection via illuminated silhouettes.
