Best Answer

Jellyfish can bioluminesce when they are stimulated.

The luminescent light produced is bluish in color, attributable to a molecule known as aequorin, but in a living jellyfish it is emitted via a coupled molecule known as GFP, or green fluorescent protein, which causes the emitted light to appear green.

Jellyfish glow because of a chemical reaction that causes light to be created inside the jellyfish. This process is called bioluminescence.

You can buy moon jellyfish and light them up with LED's. Jellyfish Art sells and ships tanks, LED's, and jellyfish anywhere in the US.
