Is this normal?

[fishy5]

I think I’m just being paranoid but are these white/light spots normal?

 

[Fish Tank Travis]

The white spots look like sand that has settled on top of the ray. Am I missing something?

 

[esoxlucius]

I think the op is referring to the very light, almost white spots in the centre of some of the rays circular chocolate coloured markings. I'm not a ray man so i don't know if that's normal or not. I'm sure others will put your mind at rest.

I would post this in the ray subforum

How long have you had the ray. If you just recently got it. It' just adjusting to the color of your substrate. I really wouldnt worry as long as it active and eagrly takes food. If it's not eating then I'd worry

I’ve had him for about 2 years. He is very very active playing in bubbles etc BUT not eating much. Maybe he doesn’t like his food. I tried frozen shrimp, pellets etc he only ate love shrimp. He usually loves hikari massivore.

It looks fat and healthy. Try giving it night crawlers I havnt seen any ray refuse those. The dots maybe it's colors changing. I've had plenty of rays that would change as they grew

He hasn’t eaten to my knowledge in a day and I just dropped some food in rushes to t but just spit it out. He has eaten that food for years.
