Flashing Filtersquid

The flashing filtersquid replaced the filtersquid. It has taken a long time before the filtersquids got used to the flashing of the flash cells. When they did get used to them they just dived into the clouds of flash cells floating in the water to feed on them. Later the filtersquids developed a sac on their back in which they store all the flash cells they eat. The flashing filtersquid is able to rise the pressure in this sac so all the flash cells light up. This causes a very bright light which scares and confuses all the predators trying to eat the flashing filtersquid. The flashing filtersquid still eats other small organisms in the water but it also spend some time of the day recharging the flash cells by floating on the surface so the flash cells can use their photosynthesis.
