That happens all of the time; it's ok Sometimes the ray might react to it a bit stongly and incur some minor injuries from trying to dislodge it, but I see that as rather unlikely.

Sometimes when a stingray tries to eat an earthworm (especially with young rays that are unaccustomed to them) it comes out of its spiracle. This is entirely normal, and shouldn't be anything to worry about. Freaked me out, too, the first time I saw our rays do it.

yes this happens in my younger rays. looks scary, but doesn't seem to be threatening. after the 3rd or 4th time, I thought it was kind of cute.

It gets real interesting when this happens and another ray swims over them and snatches the worm that is hanging out.

Very common occurrence, even in adult rays. Nothing to worry over.

Would love to see that
