A blue light fluorescence photo of light bulb sea squirts (Clavelina lepadiformis). The blue light source excites the fluorescent pigments in the sea squirts which emit light of other colours. The muddy seabed and other marine life does not fluoresce, so is seen as black. Plymouth, Devon, England, Great Britain. Plymouth Sound, English Channel.
