A pink manta ray has been observed in Australia's Great Barrier Reef and scientists believe this could be due to a genetic mutation causing erythrism. [24] The fish, spotted near Lady Elliot Island, is the world's only known pink manta ray. [25] [26] M. alfredi with mouth closed, cephalic fins rolled and ventral surface showing distinctive markings
The Manta Pacific Research Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on manta ray conservation.. Based on the Big Island of Hawaii, the foundation's stated objective is to "study manta rays in their natural habitat, conduct scientific research, provide education programs for the public about manta rays and the marine environment, and to establish and promote global manta ray conservation".
The genus was named by Constantine Samuel Rafinesque in 1810 describing the devil fish, Raia mobular or now Mobula mobular.The name can be explained from Latin mobilis "mobile" or "movable", because of the species' migratory habits; [7] [8] another explanation is that mobula is a local name used by people living in Azores who call this creature there.

Fuse beads are sold in a variety of sizes, but most have diameter 5 mm, and 5 mm Hama beads are compatible with 5 mm Perler beads. [1] Hamabeads come in three sizes: mini (2 mm), midi (5 mm) and maxi (10 mm). [7] Perler beads come in two sizes called classic (5 mm) and biggie (10 mm). Pyssla beads (by IKEA) only come in one size (5 mm).
The first difference could be the size because the giant oceanic manta ray is bigger than the reef manta ray, 4 to 5 m (13–16 ft) on average versus 3 to 3.5 m (9.8–11.5 ft) on average. [7] However, if the observed rays are young, their size can easily bring confusion.
