The marble ray is a large, flattened ray with a distinctive mottled grey and white pattern that gives it its name. Found in tropical and subtropical waters, it inhabits sandy and muddy seabeds, often near reefs, typically at depths between 5 and 80 metres. It is generally solitary or seen in small groups, resting on the bottom during the day. Despite its size, it is a bottom-feeder that hunts small fish, crustaceans, and molluscs by using its long snout to probe the seabed.
