Great stuff thanks Aunti Beeb. I never seen or heard of bioluminescent coral before. Around my home in the hedgerows in 1995 we used to have hundreds of glow worm beetles, then last year down on the coast I was happy to see many of them in the bushes on the Bristol channel beach 4 miles away. The awesome manoeuvrability of the squid is impressive, imagine making a submarine like that, the G-forces would be intense but perfect for dodging your enemy.

[@sophdog1678]

If a fish thinks the bioluminescent lure may be food, then it stands to reason that elsewhere, there is bioluminescent food. But what kind of prey species would advertise itself like that? Or is it just that the fish find the glowing lure hypnotically irresistible? Surely fish - and especially squid (being smart) - would learn to ignore glowing lures, if they never turn out to be food.

[@bosfbanksy7673]

If the glowy stuff isn't food they die to the creature who lured it, there's no room to learn since the punishment is death.

[@sinine1100]

A number of small deep-sea animals use light for mating displays, communication, and confusing nearby predators.

[@inusara9306]

some creatures probably mistake it as some like small fish that a light has reflected unto. In the vast sea, it will be very difficult to spot your prey especially when it can be around your surroundings. So some use the sun's reflection as an easy spotter to find the prey immediately. Its the creature's natural instinct to think that something bright is easily to spot and chase it, especially when it is in the darkness where you have to rely into bumping into something to eat it

[@silasprins3861]

That would be natural selection, the organism doesn't learn but the species does in a way

[@garethhughes7430]

Think of this, if something big eats something smaller, that hopes to use its lure to catch its own prey, but risks attracting something that can eat it. Bioluminescent lures ARE prey, its all a matter of scale.
