Daily Ray Facts:

Blonde Ray- Genetic disorders like Leucitic and Albinism are found to affect Blonde Rays. Leucitic disorder tend to cause the blonde ray to go from their normal brownish appearance with darker spots to white with black spots and tend to be smaller than normal. In Albinism, we see a predominately white dorsal side with little to no spots and eye color change. No physical damages or disease was shown to be increased in Blonde Rays with these genetic disorders.
