Kuhl's Mobula [Mobula kuhlii]
Description
Kuhl’s Mobula often shows up as a compact, agile ray with a strong presence in the water column. Divers may see it cruising in search of plankton, then slowing down as it begins feeding—sometimes with a smooth, rhythmic wingbeat that keeps it hovering in the current.
