Looked bad...hope ray expert can help you.

look like quite serious, hope you use water conditioner before adding tap water, also look like fungus to me...

but i think most probably look like abrasion to me

, maybe scratch against something, that scrape the skin...

I had this problem with 2 of my female rays as well last time, but I did not manage to heal them and bye bye they go.....

This usually happened to sick rays and I still dont know how and why they got this? Hope other experts out there can help.

From the pics, it looks like "bite or scratch" marks often caused by courting males or other tank mates such as suckers or FF.

Maintain good water conditions and it should recover, except that "patch" maybe paler than the rest of the disc colour on recovery.

A good indication of a healthy ray is that its active and feeding well. Watch the ray if you feed with feeders as they may also "attack" the white patch.

Keep us posted.

Add aquarium salt for freshwater and Pimafix to help heal and stop any fungus problems!

no salt for ray...
how's the ray now bro Cheongster?

Here in the US, adding aquarium salt for rays, is normal! Even, the exsperts in books suggest this! Is there a reason why in Asia, not to add salt?
The rays originally come from Latin countries not Asia so what is the reason?

A bit of salt is ok... I always disolve it before pouring in... never OD less safer than more.... Looks like a bit/nipping from the other ray,, do observe then try using Melafix... I always use salt n Melafix. Also observe if she is eating if yes it's a good sign.... also careful with the water PH if it goes below 5, it can be veri dangerous....
