My retric ray's claspers look to be fully grown. Does this mean he is mature? Is he fully grown now or will he grow more? He's not really very big, maybe 8" disk.

As far as I know he is about two years old. The store I bought him from last year wasn't sure of his age, but they had him in a 20 long for 8 months.

I'll try to get a picture of him to show his claspers.
 
Here are some pictures of ManRay:) I tried to show the claspers. The picture with the gold severum is for size comparition, the severum is 8 inches.
