This Southern Stingray (Dasyatis americana) has a groupies in the form of a Bar Jack (Caranx ruber) and a pair of Blue Tangs (Acanthurus coeruleus). We followed this stingray around for a few minutes while it fed on various things that it would find in the sand, and the others would snap up any scraps that they could find.

If you look closely, you can see a field of Garden Eels (Heteroconger longissimus) in the background.

Be sure to tune in tomorrow for a nice B&W conversion...
