Himantura uarnak

ℹ️ Overview

The Reticulated whiptail ray (Himantura uarnak) is a type of stingray characterized by its distinctive reticulated, or net-like, pattern which is primarily olive to brown in color. This species is native to the tropical and subtropical waters of the Indo-Pacific region, ranging from the Red Sea and East Africa to the western Pacific Ocean. It features a flattened body shape typical of stingrays, with a long, slender tail equipped with a venomous spine for defense. The Reticulated whiptail ray is not commonly known in the aquarium hobby, primarily due to its large size and complex habitat requirements, making it more challenging to keep in domestic aquariums.
