Hi Paul
Great spotting. The are very rare at CTBAR. I just saw a keyhole angelfish. What depth did you see it and whereabouts along the breakwater?

Hi – I think I spotted a lillte coastal mata ray in this reserve – would that be possible? Im sure it had little spots on it too.

Hi Emily, it would be very rare, but not impossible. The Eagle ray is sometime mistaken for a Manta, and looks similar. If the spots were white, and many of them you may have seen a rare Spotted Eagle ray. I have seen photos of them in the bay but they are tropical and rarely seen. Did you take a photo?
