Staff at an aquarium in London have set to work on their annual underwater spring clean.

Sea Life London houses more than 6,000 different species of sea life, including a octopus, clownfish, seahorses, and even a crocodile.

One giant ray jumped into a photo with its keeper while he cleaned the tank's glass.
