This ray is a striking addition to our 180-gallon reef tank. The blue spots and ribbon tail are very eye-catching. We’ve had it for three months and it remains active and healthy. It does require careful monitoring due to its aggressive behavior, but it’s a unique and impressive species.
Jonathan Ellison –
We bought this ray for our expert-level tank. It’s visually stunning and moves gracefully in the water. We’ve noticed it’s more active during the day and tends to stay near the bottom. It’s not aggressive toward other fish, but it does require a large tank and stable water conditions.

The ray arrived in good condition and looks exactly as described. It’s a bold choice for a reef tank. We’ve seen it interact with other fish cautiously, and it seems to prefer the edges of the tank. We’re still adjusting to its behavior, but it’s a fascinating addition.
