Blue Spotted Ribbontail Stingray - Taeniura lymma
Blue Spotted Ribbontail Stingray - Taeniura lymma is sometimes confused with the other Blue-Spotted Stingray (Neotrygon kuhlii). Taeniura lymma is more roundish in shaped and more pronounced blue spots and as its name of Ribbontail implies, there are blue stripes running along its tail/whip.
Although they are shy and usually found under rocks or ledges and tends to swim away from divers, they can still cause serious injuries to humans from their venomous spines on their tails.
The bluespotted ribbontail ray is a species of stingray in the family Dasyatidae. Found from the intertidal zone to a depth of 30 m, this species is common throughout the tropical Indian and western Pacific Oceans in nearshore, coral reef-associated habitats.
