Adding Life to the Underwater Caves

Underwater caves are technically structures, but I posted this here in the Biomes category because I felt readers would have a better understanding of its title.

I feel like the current flooded caves and ravines are a bit bland. They're just caves that you can swim through. So how about some glowing coral and fish?

Glowzoa is a group of three new types of coral. And they glow! What's unique about them is that they do not actually emit any light, sort of like the eyes of an Enderman or a Spider. This property is called an "emissive texture." Some emissive blocks could be very fun for builders to use in Sci-Fi builds or maybe in some Fantasy forest of glowing mushrooms! There would be three types of Glowzoa being red, green and blue. 

Lightfish would be a new type of fish with glowing spots on their faces. They may look like menacing glowing eyes in the dark, but they are quite harmless. Like every other fish, they can be scooped in a bucket and brought to your own aquarium if you so desire!

I know that blocks and mobs should be posted separately, but the Lightfish idea wouldn't do well on its own.

    @WolveReigner781 Haha, that was me who posted the Nautilus Fossil idea! I definitely agree that a hostile mob would make the flooded caves more interesting and treacherous. I didn't include a hostile mob because it would have to be its own post. The Glowzoa and Lightfish are grouped together because they are such small features and they both sort of work off of each other.

    Underwater caves need to be improved for sure.  It's really annoying to run into them while mining.  I don't like the hostile mob idea, that would make them even worse.  The lightfish and glowzoa are great, except I'm not a fan of the green Glowzoa texture.  Nautilus fossils would be a great addition to the caves as well.

    This would go great with the glow squid!
