cali round rays are small but are still too large as adults for a 90 gal.as for being reef safe i dont recomend them for reefs due to the fact they will knock over and topple corals from rock work and eat all inverts they can find

Actually, not even any base or LR for rays. The soft bottom on rays makes them easily scratched or cut, which can become infected. Just a sand bottom, or clean glass

i have about 250 pounds of live rock with my two cali rays and they love it so i must disagree,, they have alot of open swimming area and alot of rock to graze over and swim around. but then again i also have a 300 gallon tank ... they never cut their stomachs or anythign when they go over rock,, their smart enought o just glide over it and not get hurt
i also have a good amount of corals in my tank with my stingrays. unleashed is correct sometiemes they knock one of my muhsroom rocks over but that because id ont have it wedged very tightly but i never had any other proeblems witht hem bothering corals on me.. Also mine never eats my hermits, i guess im kind of lucky but they just arent interested in them

I have been really wanting a ray, One i am looking at says it grows 10" max.
I have a 210, not sure how big a tank it needs offhand though?
Is the Round Stingray (Urobatis halleri) the same as a cali ray?
If not how big does a cali ray get?
Everyone is telling me not to mix rays and puffers though?
Thanks!
