Manta in Atlanta
Last month Diver Magazine featured a story about how the Georgia Aquarium was allowing divers to swim in their giant Whale Shark tank.  This month the Atlanta facility announced the addition of a manta ray to that 6.3 million gallon gallery.  Nandi, a female manta ray, is the only manta in captivity in the US.  Nandi, who measures more than nine feet across and weighs approximately 456 lbs, was flown from Durban, South Africa, to Atlanta.
