Lights on and Lights off! (well, kinda)
Who gave him neon paint???!!
Fun fact: red bioluminescence is very rare! And the few animals (like some dragonfish) that have it are also the only ones at their depths that can percieve it, aside from being a way to communicate with those of their species, the red light works like a prey revealing flashlight that no one else can detect!
Why red? Well, red is the first wavelenght to "disappear" on the water collumn, that's why so many deep sea animals are bright red! As it can't be percieved, it works as camouflage, well, untill that dragonfish comes along! Why don't all deep sea critters percieve red? Well, it's like how cave dwelling species tend to be blind, as there's -usually - no red light, they ended up losing the capacity for percieving it through evolution, there was no pressure for keeping it, so it eventually went away!
Unfortunatelly for Shiggs, the abyssal merman out of his depht here, this trick doesn't work near the surface. He thinks he's being sneaky...Poor thing.
