In the month of June and about 4 days before the full Moon Melbourne spider Crabs moult. After Moulting the Crabs are soft and too a local Sting Ray a juicy delicacy. All the Ray wants is to suck out the juicy inside-similar to the way some deal with Oranges. There are so many Spider crabs the Rays do not impact on their numbers.(to use this video in a commercial player or in broadcasts,please email licensing@storyful.com )

Thanks for the comment. Camera is a Sony FS700-replaced my Z7 left at the car park. Has setting for slow mo which I am beginning to exploit-i think it has a lot of potential.
Fantastically amazing and amusing. What songs are these by the way?
all from u tube audio
Great footage Pang – was my hope to do just this – place a Gopro next to the Ray and get the equivalent footage, might have to wait til next year though, as I whimped out this year – old bones and all !!!!
thanks for the comments,Dave. Stay warm up north?
who cleans up all those crab husks
Soundtrack anyone help me?
looks like alot of wildlife benefits from this crab moult, amazing
sea spiders
the rays looks like an alien spacecraft and abducting the crab up to the ship hahaha
Lemon Lime ?
No, the crabs are aliens and the rays are us in the future…
Beautifully shot and shown. Thanks ????
Today marks the biggest and worst surprise attack in crab history, may we never forget the fallen crabs. #R.I.P crabs.
Thank you for sharing this excellent short documentary. When the crabs moulted, it looked like they had new bodies.
That’s the mother stingray

Michelle Her ikr seeing the sting ray suck the crab made me so sad

I wish I wasn’t disabled. I would love to dive with such amazing creatures.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful footage… I would never have been able to witness this first hand. So amazing!!
God bless you.. Wish u all hapiness.. i feel what u wrote

no problem, there are a few of these “lower cost” (being completely subjective term) ROV’s coming out. the same company makes a cheaper one but it’s a DIY thing so you have to be comfortable with building complex things.

Cody, thank you! That is awesome. I appreciate the tip!
I will be sure to pass it on to him when I go to his house in the morning. He has always wanted to dive again. Even with the help of the “typical” gear… his lungs couldn’t keep up. But… if he could be assisted with the swimming part completely… it would be very possible for him to dive again. Now that I have returned from my obligatory service stent… I can put more time into making sure his last couple years on earth as good as they can be. Again, thank you!
Hey besides the assholery that is going on here. if your pop want’s to dive google OPEN ROV Trident. it’s a fantastic way to dive but not get wet
em.. its looks like they sucking the thing up to da ass..

why this video has to be so creepy
the sting ray looks really majestic when it swims
4:26 Why does the crab on the right have a Hollow Mask?
The wave splashing while filming underwater was really retarded, stopped me from watching the rest…

Every now and then YouTube delivers great content like this. Thank you for creating and sharing the good stuff.
Would love to harvest and try these rays after they have gorged on crab for a week. I bet their meat would be fantastic!
watch out for the animal rights fuckers they’ll tell you it wrong
The commentary in the video was brutal.
Kinda disturbing in a weird way of watching the Stingray eat the Crab…Great video.
this is sad
great work enjoyed watching.

Does anyone have any Old Bay????

Great footage! I thought the husks of shells were spooky. lol
