Description
The bluespotted ribbontail ray (Taeniura lymma) is found along tropical shorelines in the Indo-Pacific region. This species roots out bottom-dwelling prey at night and typically hides under rock ledges or caves during daylight. Its flattened tail contains venomous stingers that can pose a threat to divers, but bluespotted ribbontail rays are more likely to flee than strike.
