Spotted eagle ray

The Spotted eagle ray (Aetobatus narinari) is characterized by its distinctive dark dorsal surface covered in white spots or rings, contrasting with its white ventral side. This species has a broad, flat body and long, pointed wings, with a whip-like tail bearing a venomous spine. It inhabits tropical and warm temperate waters worldwide, often found in coral reefs and shallow coastal areas. Despite its striking appearance, it is not commonly kept in the aquarium hobby, primarily due to its large size and specific care requirements.
