Yeah that one has been listed on their for a couple of weeks that I seen. Even emailed
about it. Supposed to be pic of actual ray for sale.

Here is another for sale. Photo appears to be of a Marbled but add is for a basic Motoro (Peru).
When emailed they stated that it was not a pic of actual ray.

I thought only true MMs came from Columbia?

"The name Boesemani was infact an incorrect one for Marble rays,this apparently refers to a newly described species from "Peru"not Colombia which does bare a striking resemblance to many top quality Marbles.Ive seen pictures of a couple of preserved specimens,they had a dark base colour with "thick"black rings surrounding a rich orange middle.....it will be nice to see one in the flesh." -quote Richard hardwick

I think that marbles do come from peru and brazil aswell.
