The Manta Ray and Wrasse

Manta Ray and Wrasse

Manta rays regularly visit “cleaning stations” where small wrasse fish clean them of parasites.

It was recently discovered that mantas, found throughout the world’s tropical and semitropical waters, are actually at least two distinct species—the smaller mantas familiar to divers and their larger, more reclusive relatives, which migrate long distances in the open sea. Unlike stingrays, manta rays do not have venomous tail barbs.
