The simple subject is "rays" , and the simple predicate is "glide"
"Through the water" is a prepositional phrase, so that can be removed from the sentence. What you have left is "Huge rays glide". "Huge" is an adjective. A simple subject will always be a noun like "rays", and a simple predicate will be a verb, like "glide".
It is good to learn some prepositions, because prepositional phrases can always be taken out of the sentence.

Huge rays glide through the water ...
The subject of a sentence is a noun, so first you need to find out which words are nouns.
Huge ... is huge a person, place or thing? nope ... Huge modifies rays (the noun) so it is an adjective.
Rays ... is ray a person, place or thing? absolutely, in this context it is an animal similar to sharks... it is a noun
Glide ... is glide a person, place or thing? in this context no ... glide is the present tense of to glide, a verb.
through ... is through a person, place or thing? no, through is a common preposition
Water, is water a person, place or thing? yes ... it is a noun
So Ray and Water are both nouns. To find which is the subject, which one is doing the action? (being glide). Since the ray is gliding it is the subject ... water is the object of the preposition
Huge (adjective) rays (subjective noun) glide (verb) through (preposition) the (article) water (object of the preposition).

huge is the adjective, glide is the verb, through is def not a subject, and water is the object that the rays (subject) are interacting with. Rays is the simple subject.
