2fab rated 21 months ago- More from our Blue Planet... Even many single-celled organisms are bioluminescent. The radiolarian Tuscaridium cygneum forms colonies such as this one in the deep-sea and glows when disturbed. (Diameter approx. 1.2 cm) BBC UK: The blue planet. The best tv series about marine live ever.

- The siphonophore Praya dubia is said to be one of the longest animals on earth and can stretch for more than 40 meters. This picture shows just one of the two nectophores (swimming bells) and a little fragment of the long chain which it pulls through the water. Even this isolated piece is over 10 cm long. Scroll down a bit to see a picture of the whole animal taken from an ROV. It shows two of the nectophores and a long portion of the stinging curtain trailing behind. Like other Cnidaria, these creatures can deliver a powerful sting, and they also produce a beautiful blue bioluminescent glow.
