    Does Octocorallia have a single origin of bioluminescence?
    Our study provides evidence for a single origin of bioluminescence in Octocorallia and infers the age of the phenomenon across these ancient animals, setting a new record for the earliest timing of the emergence of bioluminescence in the marine environment. 2. Methods

    Do Octocorals have bioluminescence?
    The dazzling glow of bioluminescence is common in Octocorallia, also known as octocorals, a class of over 3,000 Anthozoa species including sea fans, sea pens and soft corals. The prevalence of bioluminescence in these sessile animals makes a lot of sense, Dr. Quattrini said: “They settle somewhere and they’re there.”

    Are octocorals the oldest species that exhibit bioluminescence?
    Nevertheless, our results provide evidence that octocorals, among currently known luminescent species, represent the oldest lineage with species that exhibit bioluminescence. Previously, the oldest documented origin of bioluminescence was ca 267 Ma in the Permian period in a group of crustaceans [ 7 ].

    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.
