This like zoo talk. All the keepers talk about is scat. Big scat, little scat, smelly scat, runny scat, corn filled scat. Well, you get the idea.
 
Must say ive seen stools like that many times,usually from newly imported rays or rays with poor appetites,they usually start pooing normally though once they are aclimatised and feeding normally,its probably a kind of stomach upset.

OCTOZIN - flagellated protozoacide.

OCTOZIN is a treatment for internal parasites such as those which cause Sleeping Sickness, Hole - In - The - Head, Seawater Angelfish and Clownfish Disease, Malawi Bloat Disease and also early stages of Dropsy. OCTOZIN may also be used to treat Whitespot in seawater aquaria where CUPRAZIN cannot be used. OCTOZIN is harmless to invertebrates and algae when used as directed. You will require three separate days of treatment to complete the course.
OCTOZIN is active for up to 3 days after the last day of use. Although internal parasites are destroyed instantly, external signs of improvement to the fish may take up to 7 days.

Rays that havent eaten in a while or newly imported often pass the green colored stool I have heard its the natural flora of the intestines dying off because no food is passing through. Once they are eating steady it usually stops.
 
Maybe its like fish diarrhea?
