This kind of fish is called "Ray" or "Skate" and it is closely related to the family of sharks. It has a boneless skeleton made out of a tough, elastic substance and it has developed heavy, rounded teeth for crushing the shells of snails, clams, oysters and crustaceans. It also eats fish, depending on its species. Most of the ray species live on the sea floor, while many of them live in coastal waters and few of them in deep waters. As you can see in the next pictures, it can be seen in a variety of colours and shapes... Enjoy!:
