Question:
What makes the electric flame scallop (Ctenoides ales) look like it’s glowing underwater?

Answer:
The electric flame scallop is a marvel of the reef, known for its vibrant red mantle and the mesmerizing “lightning” effect along its edges. This glowing display isn’t actually light but the reflection of rapidly moving tissue on its mantle, designed to deter predators and communicate with other scallops. Found hiding in crevices or coral overhangs in tropical waters like the Philippines, these stunning creatures are a rare and exciting sight for divers. Their unique appearance and captivating movements make them one of the most fascinating finds in the underwater world.
