Hey guys, I was feeding my WC female MM today and noticed some very wierd black dots on her disc. have had her for about 2months or so, had trouble getting her to feed in the beginning but she finally came to. Her diet is market shrimp now, and water params are fine. Does anyone know what this is? is it some kind of external parasite? I have dosed some prazi pro to be safe but there seems to be nothing wrong except these black dots. Any advice/input is appreciated

This is a common sight on many peoples rays, something triggers it but not sure what, most likely a bite or something. This is not something that is life threatening and will disappear on its own.
No need to treat with medicines.
 
I've noticed the same thing on my wc hystrix; haven't been able to find any information pertinent to what was going on with her, but it doesn't seem to affect her at all. I'll be checking back on this topic though, just in case anyone has more info about it! Hope your ray continues to do well!
