"Coral Fluorescence" Size:26x70 Adult male north Pacific humpbackLiving corals at Bloody Bay Wall glow green when illuminated with pure blue light. The protein responsible is one of the most important areas of biomedical research today, using the properties of the proteins sampled from living corals.
