[Arozilla]

Im just curious how long do you ray keeper wait til you take it out ?

Out of the tank? As soon as I see it.

right away otherwise you could wind up having it lodge into a ray when they swim by

ic...i was informed to leave it in there til it pale out then take it out.

I remove mine instantly upon finding it. Don't want to take a chance of one of my other rays impaling
themselves.

I guess this would be because that way the sheath cannot harm you. I just take them out with a net and run the stinger under (very) hot water. The sheath washes away and you're left with a clean stinger.

yep i take it out as soon as i notice. just use a net and you will be fine.

Take out as soon as you see it. If it is not white just make sure you don't stick yourself with it. Here is my thread I posted of why I say this.

Take it out right away... boil it... scrub it... save it... start a collection.
