The jellyfish Atolla lives worldwide in the deep sea, where light levels are very low. The jellyfish isbioluminescent—emitting blue-green light—and so are most of its prey. Scientists think that the deep red color of the animal’s stomach serves a purpose­—to keep the blue light of its luminescent lunch from escaping and giving away Atolla’s location to its own predators.
