Yup that's exactly what I mean! I found a good reference site:
http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/vents/nemo/explorer/concepts/pillows.html
There's an awesome video at the bottom of that page, makes me wish I was
doing an animation!

It is doing that already but the effect's too subtle so it just looks like
lighting, I'll crank it up a bit :)

That's the case for ones I've seen.
A few pictures I took in Hawaii

And the steam glows really cool at night:

You also get really cool cracks in the ground where the Lava shows

Such cracks might look cool in the foreground.
(sorry for the links to pics; but I can't render anything that cool)
