I am coming to the conclusion that my blue spot ray, which I have yet to see refered to in any lit I've seen, is related more closely to the hystrix line than the motoro group. This is drawn from the fact that her growth is not matching that of the two motoro's she shares her tank with, thus getting identical feeding. They all started out roughly the same size, bnut she seems to have maxed out a bit while the motoros just keep growing. She also is a bit more personable, as were my pair of hystrix prior to their tragic demise one night when my cat unplugged the air pump during kitty frolics. Her ground color is a bit darker than the hysrix I had, but I'm sure there is considerable variation due to locality where that is concerned. As for the blue spots, well I have never seen any other ray with this coloration, and would love to hear from any who have.
