Since the manta ray's eyes are on the top of its body and its mouth is on the underside, it never sees itself eat.
Bonus flat fish tidbit: Flounder come into the world with an eye one each side of their head and swim upright. As they mature, one eye moves over to the other side of the head and they start swimming on their side.
Extra Bonus: Most Flounder are lefties. Their eyes migrate to the left side of their body and they swim left-side up.

Perhaps this is related to why "lefties" "flounder around" so much?! --The wife of a floundering Lefty
