Bluespotted Ribbontail Ray at Submerged Temple Artificial Reef in Bali

A bluespotted ribbontail ray (Taeniura lymma) rests on dark volcanic sand right beside a submerged temple artificial reef structure in Bali. Its yellowish-tan body displays striking, iridescent neon-blue spots extending down its disc and tail. In the surrounding clear blue water column, bright yellow rabbitfish (Siganus species), damselfish, and anthias swim around the encrusted concrete temple tier. Wide-angle natural lighting illuminates the marine habitat, highlighting artificial reef colonization and benthic fauna. Ideal for marine conservation features, underwater photography exhibits, reef restoration studies, and Indonesian eco-tourism publications.
