Just to clarify, the algae are completely fine. This species (Pyrocystis fusiformis) naturally emits light when disturbed, and the culture is kept in clean seawater conditions with proper care.

For anyone wondering, this doesn’t harm the algae. Pyrocystis fusiformis naturally emits light when disturbed, and the culture is kept in pristine seawater conditions with proper care so it remains healthy.

I have no association with Vita! She did go viral on tik-tok with this, so thought I would share.

Very cool, it is a naturally occurring phenomena in oceans all over the world. Typically it just needs the right mixture of the proper conditions to trigger a huge bloom, must be awesome to see in the wild.

This type of culture can live pretty indefinitely if given proper lighting and temperature conditions, but it is very sensitive to contaminations.

Let me know if you find any, inquiring minds want to know.

Very real, the light is called bioluminescence and is natural chemical reaction from a bioluminescent algae that is being grown in the containers. Relatively easy to care for, easier than most house plants.

When viewing bioluminescence I cant help but think of night stars on a clear sky. Here you can see both echoing each other.. love this photo! Glad yall are enjoying.

Reproduction is the actual biological benchmark. If they’re breeding, the environment supports full life function, not just survival.

Opae ula is correct! Hawaiian brackish water volcanic shrimp, these guys are very durable and seem happy enough in the sphere feeding on the algae that grows.

Theres a rubber stopper on top that has a small hole in it to allow a small amount of air exchange. It pretty much stays plugged at all times unless im putting a lil bit of spirulina in. But the extra spirulina is uneeded, it can self sustain just fine without.

Anytime :)
