How much and often are you feeding? Might not be feeding enough. Rays are big eaters and are happy to supplement food if needed. Especially at night. Try getting some moon lights and feed more.
After video watch: from the video I can tell she does not look very full food wise. Feed more. Nice looking marble by the way.

Sucks for the fish but awesome display of a predator in action. Out of all the rays I have and had one of my female marbles is my fish killer. She caught 5 pink tailed chalseus out of mid water and ate them all. Those things are like torpedoes but she was smarter than they were.

Yep in that pic she looks well fed. Might have been looking that way in the video just because she was puffed up a little

She would swim along surface got close then lunge and take them 24" to the bottom and that was it. She dropped to bottom so fast the fish could not get out from under her disk. She was around 10" at the time
