Taeniura lymma is a small ray with bright blue spots on a yellow-brown body. It lives on shallow coral reefs in warm seas.
Taeniura lymma stands out with bright blue spots that serve as a warning about its venomous spine. It is important for nature because it eats small animals and helps maintain balance on coral reefs.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
