Looks a bit like a big rectis.. Hard to tell.. Just very light.. So prob nok rectis after all....

message the seller and ask where it is from.
I believe it is some type of Peruvian P.sp (an undescibed species), was previously called Orbignyi but now that is heavily debated. The more we learn about rays, it seems the less we actually know!
But, with the light base color & reticulated pattern, I believe it is a Peru P.Orbignyi / P .sp-Peru

I guess it's a hybrid too, never seen anything like it.

Orbignyi.. sure looks to have smooth back/lacking denticles..

Peru sp.. ugly brown, lacking pattern.. seen alot of juveniles from Peru that could morph into something like this for sure..

???

A hybrid? Quick to guess hybrid?? Must mean they hybridize in the wild

Retics can look this way when they get big, too.. man look at those claspers for 9-11 inches. That's it - I am importing ALL the ugly brown rays from Peru and we will get to the bottom of this max size/sexual maturity stuff!
