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!

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

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

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.

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:

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!
