Ternatensis fluoresce?

Does ternatensis fluoresce?

I just brought one home, and in the partial darkness while HE was digging, I noticed very specific patches on his gills and posterior gills hear the telson fluorescing blue and green.

 

[Gonodactylus]

I don't know, but looking at them, I suspect so. Most gonodactylids do. Next time I catch one, I'll check. All you need to see is a black light and a yellow filter.
