Manta ray

The manta ray is well known for having fins that resemble horns and give them an 'evil' aspect. Manta rays are often known as devilfish because of this. This animal, which is a stingray's "relative," is frequently seen in tropical and temperate seas. Large dark-brown or black marine animals that are closely linked to sharks, and manta rays are most frequently seen in the warm seas surrounding islands.

Since they lack teeth, they can only consume by sifting food through their mouths. The manta ray is a filter feeder, which means it eats aquatic food that is suspended in the water. It can eat krill, shrimp, and planktonic crabs by using this technique. Manta rays eat mostly plankton, although they will also eat starfish if they come upon it. Both the soft flesh and the hard exoskeleton of the starfish are edible to the manta ray. Since coral reefs include starfish, they typically graze nearby since they have an abundance of food there.

The manta ray's species is currently regarded as threatened since it takes them roughly a year to give birth to pups. The number of manta rays has significantly decreased due to overfishing and environmental problems. However, one of the most frequent predators of starfish that eat starfish is the manta ray.
