horrible pics. possibly a bite? if not fungal or bacterial infection
 
This is usually caused from nipping form other tankmates. Clean water and salt.
 
Could definately be a cat or some other bottom feeder gnawing on the tail. Hard to tell from pics. This is common with rays in community tank setups. Like stated above, keep up with the water changes and add a bit of aquarium salt to the tank
 
Yup can also be caused by the ray going up and down the glass and landing on his tail.

It is nothing to be majorly concerned over as long as you keep the water clean and monitor for secondary infections
