  • Not sure of the specifics but I'm doing some research on it: I think this is the normal colour of the jellyfish. It has the ability to flash blue light from its cells The GFP protein absorbs light of blue wavelength, which makes it emit green light.

  • if its in blue color why do we call it Green FP?
