Hi.
Hopefully someone will know the answer to this as my wife and I have been searching exhaustively to not find any definitive answers...
We were at a friends place on the East side of South Ambergris last night. Off their pier, in the water, are these fish (or something) that sparkle very similar to a firefly or lightning bug. When we stomped on the pier, it would seem the creatures (for lack of a better term) reacted to the vibrations and thousands sparkled very brightly all around... A truly beautiful sight and when searching for explanations, the closest we could find were, "phosphorus fish that use light to keep the school together". Any ideas or knowledge out there that will help us determine what it was we we were seeing? Thanks in advance!!
