The rate of success between a male and female manta ray is below average in comparison with the whole ocean.  Fertility is not high in females, they produce 1-2  offspring at a time.
The mating takes place is warm waters and near coasts and cleaning stations. The manta rays have a special ritual when deciding mates, that is named "train mating".

For shelter, manta rays go to dwell at coral reefs to find food and keep safe from predators. While at the coral reef they often get cleaned by fish

The habitat of the Manta ray  is the open ocean, they are usually found in warm and subtropical waters. There are two different species of the manta ray, the giant manta ray that is found all over the globe and the reef manta rays that stays near the coastline and  coral reefs. The reef manta ray also rests on atolls and seamounts. The giant manta ray mostly travels in the ocean with no real habitat but they visit cleaning stations.

The habitat of the reef manta ray is commonly among coastlines and coral reefs.

The manta ray and the blue whale both feed on krill and both feed near the surface of the water. The flamingo can relate to the manta ray because both are filter feeders despite being different of animal. The Antarctic minke whale is also a filter feeder but lives in a completely different part of the ocean than the manta ray.

Since the Manta ray doesn't have a specific habitat this a map illustrating where Manta rays are usually seen.

Manta rays are filter feeders, which means they swim with their mouths open to catch the suspended food particles in the water. They feed on plankton and krill. They sometimes go hunt into the deeper parts of the ocean to consume small fish.

It has been studied and recorded that an abundance of manta rays gather around Miss Elliot island in the great barrier reef during Autumn and Winter. The manta rays were cruising, cleaning and foraging in those times.

The manta ray is a mid-level consumer. The predators of the manta ray are few, for not many organisms would want to confront the ray because of its size. The manta ray could become the prey by attacks from sharks, killer whales, and false killer whales

The manta ray and remora share a symbiotic relationship that is beneficial to them both, this relationship is mutualistic. A remora is an elongated fish with a unique looking dorsal fin that suction on to an organism. While the manta ray is swimming through the ocean the remora  suction themselves right unto the ray and cleans the ray. The remora is provided with food from the skin. In return the manta ray gets cleaned from any harmful bacteria.
