You may be referring to many of the comb jellies that refract light into a brilliant display of moving rainbow colors along their comb rows by the waving of their cilia. In that case, the name of one of the most popular species (because it is prominently displayed at the Monterey Aquarium) is the Mertensia ovum, or 'sea nut' jelly. Unfortunately, even though comb jellies are gelatinous marine invertebrates, they aren't in the same order, class, or even phylum as jellyfish.
Most comb jellies, and many hydromedusa (closely related to jellyfish), such as Aequorea victoria and Atolla wyvillei, do exhibit bioluminescence in the dark. But alas, no sea jellies can produce electric shocks.
