    Where did Octocorallia come from?
    Our divergence dating placed the origin of Octocorallia approximately 542 Ma ( figure 3 ), whereas Quattrini et al. [ 10] estimated the origin of Octocorallia in the Ediacaran (575 Ma, 95% CI: 484–685 Ma, figure 1 ).

    When did bioluminescence occur in Octocorallia?
    Using a phylogenomic approach and ancestral state reconstruction, we provide evidence for a single origin of bioluminescence in Octocorallia and infer the age of occurrence to around the Cambrian era, approximately 540 Ma—setting a new record for the earliest timing of emergence of bioluminescence in the marine environment.

    Why are octocorals so successful?
    DeLeo and Quattrini said that the octocorals' thousands of living representatives and relatively high incidence of bioluminescence suggests the trait has played a role in the group's evolutionary success.

    Is Octocorallia bioluminescent?
    The presence of luciferase among a diverse array of octocorals across both orders [ 12] supports our findings that the common ancestor of Octocorallia was bioluminescent, with the trait lost as a result of other contributing factors (e.g. drift or selection) during the subsequent evolution of various lineages.
