Ribbontail rays rest camouflaged on sandy patches between coral heads, particularly in the 8 to 14 meter zone of the bay. They are most active at dawn and dusk when they move across the sand to hunt small crustaceans and molluscs. A slow, non-threatening approach will often allow divers to observe them feeding at close range before they glide away.
