How many have tried this? What is your success level like. I am contemplating adding my pearls with my Henlei at some point. Pearls are probably 8 inches.
 
only thing I have seen is feeding. As the big rays can freak the little guys out. I had my 8inch male pearl in with a 13inch and 14inch motoro.. And the pearl was always getting the short end of the stick when feeding.. I would grow out to atleast 10+inches.. As your henlei are huge
 
i think at 8" you should be good i have done it with smaller pups and got away with it
my pup was with 20" adults and he was like 7"
 
thought i would add that the motoros killed the pearl... when feeding.. the pearl would get some food.. then a large ray would come over top of him, they would bite him to try to get the food.. and he couldnt take it...
 
5" Marble with 12''-20" rays work out well, I just make sure the little one eat well.
Good luck.
