Is the after effect of an imploding bubble created by the pistol shrimp, which is a tiny burst of light, some version of the casimir effect in practice or just plain old cavitivity?
It's just one of those things i need to know :=)

Truth is...they're still working to find the cause of this phenomenon. Certainly, cavitation comes into it, but some have even suggested a nuclear reaction could be taking place inside the bubble.
There's an excellent report on the effect here
