Looks like a skate or ray in Key Largo...

This is probably a simple identification, but I'm at a loss. It's in Key Largo in March at about 30 feet.

Thanks so much!

Yes. Definately Atlantic Guitarfish. We saw a mating pair in Costa Rica (Shovelnose Guitarfish - Pacific side) last summer. First dive of the trip, no camera on that dive. Didn't see another one for the entire trip. We weren't sure what they were when we saw them. We had to consult the Humann books when we got back to shore. Great find!

Here's a couple versions with the color cast removed in PE 2.0. The 2nd one might be a bit overcorrected.

for the identification. I did not know if it was unusual to see these. I actually have a nice shot of a barracude hovering over this guitarfish.
