Just read this little article:

Torpedo Alley

Torpedo alley is a muck site in the Nusa Kode area close to Cannibal Rock. It is great by day but earned its’ name from the torpedo electric rays that come out at night to hunt. These rays appear undescribed by science and I have been unable to find shots of the species from any other location. They reach upto one foot in length and some smaller ones would be only 6 inches. As hard as the dive guide tried to convince me it would be a good idea to touch one they do put out an electric pulse to stun their prey so I decided to give that a miss. The site also has many species of seahorse and pipefish. Carrier crabs are also common and identified as they use debris as protection or camouflage. I saw them carrying urchins, broken seapens, starfish and upside-down jellyfish.

I better plan a trip down there and get a breeding pair. :drool: Would be so cool! :ROFL:

Also, Narcine brasiliensis only get around 50 cm in total length and has some nice colors. Could be an option to.. :)
