Atlantic stingray Profile

The Atlantic stingray (Hypanus sabinus) is characterized by its brown to olive-green color on the upper body, transitioning to a white or pale underside. This species is indigenous to the western Atlantic Ocean, ranging from Chesapeake Bay to Mexico. It possesses a distinctively flat, diamond-shaped body with a long, whip-like tail equipped with a venomous spine for defense. While recognizable, it is not predominantly popular in the aquarium hobby, primarily due to its size and specific care requirements.
