The bioluminescent algae Noctiluca scintillans is also known as “sea sparkle” because of its magical appearance.

These dinoflagellates become illuminated when they are disturbed by motion in the water — whether it’s the result of natural waves or a fish swimming by.

The above “light display” was created by the photographer moving an object through the water in a heart shape.
