The Magical Pools of Mumbai | The Making of Asia | BBC Earth
Just outside urban Mumbai lies a pool of zoanthids. These tiny organisms shine bright, creating nature’s own fluorescent city lights – but they’re only exposed for a few hours each month at low tide, meaning both time and tide is against the crew.

BBC forget about India 🇮🇳 or Asia…go home and make Documentary on " FILTHY THAMES" …..WAIT, OUR REPUBLIC TV IS COMING TO DO THAT SOON
Magnificent exemplifies the mysterious & exhilarating nature of creation. Thank You Sarang & BBC team for making this wonderful video.🎉
OK so they don't actually produce any light, they just reflect. You got ruined by (expected) night and water?
Very freaken cool!
Wow 👌👍
wow, amazing🤩
Water of life.
Do they actually shine or only when lit?
It is worth noting that if you do try to find them, be very careful around them most, some zoanthids create a very powerful toxin (Palytoxin) if irritated.
If you inhale or ingest it you will experience shortness of breath, and other serious symptoms.
