Help with Identification

[ralphtran]

Hello, I was wondering anyone could help me ID these two? An importer is bringing them in next week and I was going to get them. They're from Peru. he said he would try to find the location they came from.

Also, Here's a link to an adult from the same location:

These are often sold under the name "mantilla". Not sure of the actual species. I've seen some captive bred motoro hybrids that look a lot like these, which may suggest that they're a naturally occurring hybrid.

i think that those are mantilla also. they are undescribed rays with no formal name

Hey Ralph!

I looked a bit more at the aqualog last night after we talked, and it is a dead ringer for a young mantilla, also known as a marble motoro. Can be absolutely gorgeous when grown!! Good buy for you I think!!

Mantilla and marble motoro are two completely different things...
