The reason that the Grimpoteuthis (dumbo octopus) glows is because it lives around 23,000 ft below the top of the ocean! It lives in the Abyssal Zone (midnight zone) and it is dark down there so it has to see.

Information on the Dumbo Octopus?

Not a lot of information on the dumbo octopus is available because it is so elusive. They stand out among octopuses for being pelagic -- that is to say they swim around in the middle of the water instead of crawling about on the sea floor. They also live quite deep in the ocean and this makes them very difficult to find.
