The eastern fiddler ray is a guitarfish found in shallow coastal sandy bays, seagrass beds and rocky reefs. They are brown with shades of yellow or olive and distinctive triangular patterns behind their eyes. A row of thorn-like denticles lines its back. They feed on shellfish, crabs and worms. They are ovoviviparous with a gestation period of 4-5 months. Their lifespan is 30 years.
