Aegina citrea is a small, bioluminescent medusa (family Aeginidae) found in open oceanic waters across temperate and tropical seas, producing blue-green bioluminescence through a photoprotein mechanism. It is a planktonic predator with a transparent bell and trailing tentacles used to capture small crustaceans and other zooplankton. These genomic resources enable comparative analyses of cnidarian bioluminescence evolution.
