Lightning Strike Productions captured this beautiful video of a manta dance–complete with accompanying golden trevally–during a recent dive in Pulau, and were kind enough to share.

Videos such as this not only portray the majestic beauty and attraction of manta rays, but also help our scientists to monitor and track manta populations via the unique “fingerprint” on every manta. So why not dig out your old diving photos, upload your manta ID shots to MantaTrax, and contribute to managing and conserving this threatened species.

The Golden Gig in the sky from Lightning Strike Productions on Vimeo. After the Spotted Eagle Ray, the Golden Trevally is my next favourite fish. Filming at German Channel, Palau, it was a very nice surprise to see one Manta with an inquisitive accompaniment of these friendly fish. License at http://www.paya.com/videos/368255
