Bluespotted Fantail Ray
Taeniura lymma
Adults inhabit sandy flats, seagrass beds, and coral reefs across tropical Indo-Pacific shallows. They spend much of the day resting partly buried in sand and become more active while searching the bottom for mollusks, crustaceans, and worms. Its vivid blue spots make it distinctive, while the venomous spine near the tail base is used defensively when threatened.
