Divers at the Sunshine Aquarium are feeding rays with heart-shaped squid meat - dyed red, naturally - as a special event four times a day until February 14.

The aquarium - which is on the 10th floor of the Sunshine City commercial complex - also features a “Sunshine Aqua Ring” offering views of sea lions swimming overhead and a “Jellyfish Tunnel.”
