Holy cow!! Something is blinking!!

[DaddyJax]

I was watching TV with my wife just now and I saw something light up in my tank. My first though was it was a reflection on the glass or something. But then I looked closer and turned off all the lights and it was still blinking! What in the heck is that!! It was small, like a 1/4" and lit up like bioluminescence. I grabbed my camera and took a short clip of it and then it moved in the rock work. Does anyone know where I can share this clip and does anyone know what it might be? I am very excited and curious!! My wife thinks it was in the shape of a small starfish!

Hurry up man,i wanna c.

Most likely it's a starfish but it might be a worm. Bioluminescent hitch-hikers aren't unheard of.

Okay here it is but I must say that it looks alot better on a full screen. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v201/DaddyJax/?action=view&current=MVI_3216.flv

Have you placed anything new (coral or rock) into your aquarium recently?

 

[derekman]

what am I looking at, I can't tell what is lit in the video, the white speck in the upper area or the orangy red thing in the right corner...

You're wife has a potty mouth.


That's cool, dude. No idea what it is, but if you can start breeding them, you could make a mint selling them as moonlights.

 

[DaddyJax]

Nothing new but coral.


Yeah I know, she was literally raised by a sailor! (I love it!)

I'll bet it's an ophiuroid star that's flashing. It might have hitch-hiked in on the new coral. Here's a related link:

LOL!!!


I just think your fish have been saving up those little watch batteries and finnally where able to build a gill driven high powered strobe light for their partys ...

or you have something that blinks.


I like the stobe light idea better!
