Sharks, fish and manta rays are predators of the starfish. Larger starfish also prey on and attack smaller starfish.
Mainly sharks, but killer whales (orca) too occasionally.
Sharks, Manta-Rays, Large Bony Fish.
Sharks, Manta Rays, Sea Otters, and other large fish are the main predators of starfish.
Fish often swim under manta rays for several reasons, including protection from predators and access to food. The rays create a disturbance in the water that can stir up plankton, attracting smaller fish. Additionally, the shade provided by the manta ray offers a safe haven from larger predators. This symbiotic relationship benefits both the manta rays, which may enjoy cleaner gills from the smaller fish, and the fish, which gain safety and feeding opportunities.
Yes, hammerhead sharks are known to feed on manta rays, although they primarily target smaller prey such as fish and squid. The great hammerhead, in particular, has been observed hunting and consuming manta rays, using its unique head shape to pin down and immobilize these large prey during the hunt. However, manta rays are not a primary food source for hammerheads and are consumed opportunistically.

Manta rays can be found in tropical waters, oceans and subtropical regions. They have flat body making it easy for them to hide along the sediments when threatened by predators.
Some types of rays include manta rays, stingrays, and electric rays. Manta rays are large, graceful creatures found in the ocean, while stingrays are known for their venomous barbs. Electric rays can produce electric shocks to defend themselves or hunt for prey.
Adult manta rays do not have many predators to fear, so they don't need camouflage as much as many other species. The adults are dark on top and light underneath, making them hard to spot when they are swimming. Young manta rays hide on the ocean floor and camouflage themselves with a layer of sand so that they are harder for predators to find.
