OMG!  I'll bet anything that this is the big ray they kept in Atlantis.  They said they were going to have to release him "next year" because he would have grown too big for the aquarium there.  He was huge.  Well, this is "next year" and I wouldn't be a bit surprised if this is him.  I can't remember his name, but it was some greek god name or something like that.

It has to be difficult to pick a name for a Ray. They already have a name.

I would favor Robert, Rusty, Ralph or Rodrigo.

A ray just doesn't resemble a Zeus.

Zeus is more of a Zebra name.
