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.
