Glowing Sea Pen

Glowing Sea Pen
 The phosphorescent sea pen was found by marine surveyors off the coast of Scotland.

Each sea pen named for its quill pen-like appearance is made up of a colony of polyps, or small, anemone-like individuals that lights up when touched. In Scotland, sea pens are common in muddy areas along the coast.
