Finalist – Glowing in the Dark – Strawberry sea anemones have a fluorescent protein that can be excited by a certain wavelength of blue light. The function of the protein is uncertain. I took this photo at Rambler Rock in False Bay, at a depth of 17 metres, using a special Nightsea fluorescence excitation filter and yellow barrier filter to show up the anemones in the dark depths of the ocean.
