    Well, it will eat crabs and shrimp. If your sand got dirty you could use a queen conch. I have never seen them eat snails but maybe they do.

    ok guys finally got my ray, after a lot of searching haha i have had her in the tank for about 24 hours she swims around a bit but mostly hiding under the sand. i have yet been able to get her to eat, so any advice there would be super handy. in all she seems fairly relaxed but as this is my first ray im having i would not have a clue what normal is so again advice is readily accepted. she is just over 3 inches in diamater so still a bub.
