Apparently they had to compete with fish exporters for specimens, so I guess someone has them. Maybe someone here!

And the article says they're "big". Of course, by most peoples standards a Motoro is big so no real information there.

Wait, so the "China Ray" is Heliotrygon?
Oh man if only it weren't so big! I want one now!
...and I guess they were serious when they said "big".

They are hard to keep, very picky eaters, ambush predators probably, not aggressive hunters,
