The Blue-Spotted Ribbontail Ray (Taeniura lymma) is a small, vibrantly coloured ray known for its striking electric-blue spots and ribbon-like tail, tipped with a venomous spine. Inhabiting warm, shallow coral reefs and sandy flats of the Indo-Pacific, this ray often hides under rocks or buries itself in sand during the day, emerging at night to feed on crustaceans, mollusks, and small fish. Despite its beauty, the blue-spotted ribbontail ray is shy and typically avoids humans, though its tail spine can deliver a painful sting if threatened. Its vivid appearance and unique behaviour make it a favourite among divers and marine enthusiasts.
