I just got my first ray a month ago (thanks to trevamp) and he mostly eats worms.
I will throw a couple of massivore pellets in there with him and he pounces on the right away but he mostly just chews them up and spits them out.
Am I just making a mess or is this progress that you guys would suggest that I continue?

I would also like to add that it is not hard to clean up because my filter intake sucks it right up into a filter sock that gets changed once a day.

They might be too big for him. When I got smaller rays on it I broke the pellets in half. Also put a pellet or two in with some shrimp and water, let soak then add to tank
 
Teaching them to eat pellets starts with a mess. Pellets + Rays = messy water/tank but good filtration cleans it up fast.

Smaller is great. Also you can try breaking up the massivore. Your going to need the larger ones sooner or later.
