Feeding bioluminescent dinoflagellates

[Ireef@SMO]

One of my favorite wonders of the world is bioluminescence, just like algae that can be found in warm tropical waters like Puerto Rico. This algae can emit a blue green light when disturbed. It is believed this is a type of defence mechanism. I think its rarely seen things like this that can have a huge impact on people. Does anyone here have any experience raising these single cell wonders, or feeding them to a tank?
