A freshly caught specimen of Echiostoma barbatum showing the dark brown colouration. The photophore behind the eye appears pink due to light reflecting off blood vessels in the organ, a bit like redeye in people. When emitting light, the organ is a blue-green colour. © Chris Kennaley, University of Washington
