Caption: Three stunningly green-fluorescent sea anemone species cohabitate in a Central California tidepool Participant category: Graduate student Department: Scripps Institution of Oceanography The three sea anemone species captured in this photo naturally produce Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) for unknown reasons. The Deheyn Lab at Scripps Institution of Oceanography studies GFPs and their possible functions, as related in a series of publications. The green spots in the center are fluorescent sea anemones and the red background area is photosynthetic algal fluorescence. Waves are crashing in the middle, and Los Angeles, to the south, illuminates the left horizon.
