That doesn’t make any sense.

If it were a Mason Shark it could feel the grip of another in the dark as well as in the light.....

Some sea critters do like added light to hunt.

Had great fun one night Manta dive swimming around and spotlighting fish for the hunting moaray eels to catch. The eels were smart enough to know the game and followed us around, tracking the spot of light.
