Mosaic Stingray (Raya mosaico)

The beauty of this magnificent animal cannot be underestimated.  Its design and pattern are unbelievable.  We found 2 on this dive, a night dive in Tossa de Mar a few years ago.  Sadly, that area had been damaged by storms and artificial sand brought in every summer for the tourist season.  The storms carry the sand out, where it settles on the bottom, killing all life which lives there.  The rays and other bentonic life must go elsewhere.  I haven´t seen one of these rays in 3-4 years, but I´m sure they´re still somewhere.  I hope to see one soon.
