Torpedo alexandrinsis [Torpedo alexandrinsis]
Description
Torpedo alexandrinsis is typically encountered as a low, sand- or mud-dwelling ray that blends into the bottom. Divers often see it by its outline or by the way it changes position, sometimes settling again as if it’s part of the habitat. With patience, you may catch a brief burst of movement as it adjusts its posture and glides a short distance along the seafloor.
