  Nice Catch.
Like little kids they respond to the offer of food. W/a
ray I don't think its training as much as its just their associating people w/feeding time. They don't do tricks or preform tasks, THEY EAT. On Grand Cayman in the Bahamas they appear on the sand flats as soon as the Snorkel boats arrive and are gone once the free squid has been eaten.

  Thanks for your comments. One of the young blokes working at the centre could tap on the side of the tank & the baby Epaulette shark would swim over to be patted.

  Your closeup today led me to your gallery, Tony, hoping to find a full view of the ray. This marvelous capture is truly fascinating!
