After a month, one of my rays finally died from a swallowed hook. Decided to do a bit of investigating, and in fact, it really was a hook. Anyways, I decided to do a bit of disection after look for the hook, I ended up defleshing the ray down to cartilage. Here i noticed something, the cartillage of the ray's disc covers the whole disc EXCEPT the front nose area of the ray, it just ends at the corners of each eye, does this have something to do with a ray becoming a batman? Its kinda hard to see as my camera sucks and its on a while background, but its a top shot, you can make out that it ends and does not connect together. Also, there is no possible way that the peice of cartillage simply fell off as all the peices of flesh have been looked over before disposal, the rest of the disc is completely intact, and the edges of the cartillage have no signs of ripping, all edges are smooth, even at the base (head peice of cartillage).
