The Amoeba in colour effect or so I’ve named it.
Step 1: Create a new document: 600x600 (actually, any size), white background. Then press D and then Alt+Backspace to fill your background with black.
Step 2: Go to Filter > Render > Lens Flare. Give the Brightness as 100% and lens type as 50-300mm Zoom. Position the flare such that it emerges from the absolute centre.

Step 3: Open your Colour Balance Box (Ctrl+B) and give settings of -100 | 0 | 100 for the midtones.
Step 4: Then, open your Curves box (Ctrl+M) and move the pointer slightly so that you can enter the settings of Input: 50, Output: 95

Step 5: Then go to the Filter > Distort > Wave and give the following settings: Generators – 6,
wavelength min – 61
Wavelength max – 105
Aplitude min – 1
Amplitude max – 55
[Figures are flexible and can vary]
Hit Randomise a few times till you see a desired effect and press OK.
Step 6: Duplicate the background, and on the new layer, hit Ctrl+F about two times to reapply the filter. Play around with the blending modes to get a desired effect.
I used overlay.
Final:
