hi, i just bought couple stingray and the seller put the air tube in their stinger its very tight and i dont want to pull out hard it might hurt them ,can i just leave it like that and will it fell off ? if i have to take it off could anyone tell me how,,thank you
 
You can leave it, it may fall off on its own or when the stinger is shed.

In my experience no tubing is on too hard to remove, although in one case it took two pairs of needle nose pliers - one on the uncovered part of the stinger to ensure I wasn't going to pull the stinger and one on the tubing to pull it off. Usually a single pair of pliers on the end of the tube will get the job done as the ray tries to move away.
