Seen this post on Facebook and wanted some thoughts on here. Has anyone used the bioluminescent pyroDinos in their tank... I'm interested in the effect... Haven't heard anything bad. Want some input if possible
 
People have added them before- they typically last a few weeks and die off:
Yeah - these dinos (Pyrocystis fusiformis) are coldwater and non-toxic (people have legitimately drunk the stuff before, though it’s not recommended). People add these to their tanks on occasion, but they typically only last a couple of weeks (slowed growth at the higher temp, and removal via filtration, skimmers, etc.).

They’re pretty neat, and kids will definitely love them.
 
I had some natural bioluminescent organisms in the wild Florida live rock I used when I first set up my tank. Glowing patches on what was probably some decaying organic matter from a dead organism. It faded as the rock cured.
