I would recommend the removal

I would recommend the removal of the tag "bioluminescence". This photo is actually showing fluorescence, which is different than bioluminescence. The NOAA mission from which this photo originates was about studying the fluorescence of various deep sea organisms. Fluorescence can be seen when deep blue or UV light is shown on an organism that contains fluorescent proteins.
