Diver Ryan Carpenter posted a video to YouTube showing the 4-foot-long translucent worm-like creature he encountered with his diving companions in late February off Ticao Island. Advertisement Carpenter said a Reddit user identified the glowing creature as a pyrosome, which is actually a "colony of animals called tunicates." Carpenter said the pyrosome was about 4-feet-long and 4 to 5 inches in diameter. Tunicates are each less than an inch in size, but they combine into tube-like pyrosomes that can grow to be more than 20 yards long.
