Manta rays do not have a specific shelter like some other marine animals. Instead, they inhabit open ocean environments, often found in coastal areas, near coral reefs, or in pelagic waters. They seek shelter from predators and strong currents by swimming near the ocean floor or within schools. Manta rays are also known to utilize cleaning stations, where they allow smaller fish to remove parasites from their bodies.

Giant Oceanic Manta Ray The giant oceanic manta ray, giant manta ray, or oceanic manta ray, is a species of ray in the family Mobulidae, and the largest type of ray in the world. They are circumglobal and are typically found in tropical and subtropical waters, but can also be found in temperate waters. Until 2017, giant mantas were classified in the genus Manta, along with the smaller reef manta. DNA testing revealed that both species are more closely related to rays of the genus Mobula than previously thought. As a result, giant mantas were renamed Mobula birostris to reflect the new classification.
