The Blue Spot Stingray is a stunning and distinctive marine ray, known for its flattened, diamond-shaped body covered in vibrant electric blue spots against a sandy brown background. Its graceful swimming and unique appearance make it a captivating centerpiece for large marine aquariums with sandy bottoms. This species is both mesmerizing to watch and fascinating to care for, though it requires specialized tank conditions.
Size: Typically grows up to 20 inches in disc width, with a tail extending an additional 15–20 inches
Country of Origin: Indo-Pacific region, including the Red Sea, East Africa, Indonesia, and northern Australia
Latin Name: Taeniura lymma
Care Level: Difficult – requires a large, well-maintained aquarium with a deep sand substrate for burrowing, strong filtration, and pristine water quality
Blue Spot Stingrays are carnivores that feed on crustaceans, mollusks, and small fish. In captivity, they require a varied diet of fresh or frozen meaty foods such as shrimp, squid, and clams. They are not reef safe, as they may disturb corals and invertebrates while burrowing and can pose a danger to tankmates with their venomous tail spines. Their vibrant coloration and elegant swimming make them a spectacular but advanced species for dedicated marine aquarists.
