I thought I would bring this question to the experts, since there is nowhere online to get any info. My Orbignyi, that like so many others was sold as a "True Hystrix", has no pattern that I can see. I was hoping that after he settled in and started feeding and his stress level went down that he would show his true colors, so far, that hasn't been the case. He's healthy, which is the most important thing, but I just want to know if he will change as he matures? Thanks

My vote is he will show a little more pattern but not much unless you put him on darker sand or a black bottom. Then he might just get dark all over. I would try dark bottom for about 6 months then switch back to light or just leave alone and see what happens. Fat and happy is key with any ray. Keep him and observe him and one day you can become our orb expert :)
