i know a lot of animals have different max sizes between the sexes, but have not seen it mentioned in a book or online article when it comes to rays. i would have guessed that female rays were at least slightly larger, but are the sexes the same size?
 
i think females grow faster than males and i think they grow larger, my brother's female motoro grows twice as fast compared to my male motoro :)
 
males mature faster but females grow bigger

female motoro 24inch disk max
male 18inch disk normally
 
thanks, thats what i figured but i havent seen it mentioned in any text.
