I've been wondering how successful people have been lately with the ribbon rays. For thoses with success, do you think it would be possible to have them successfully in an open large reef (300+gal)? It's really just a thought for down the road

Don't know what you mean by "lately". There is no evidence to indicate the collection methods or hardiness of the species has changed since they arrive in the hobby. They are a delicate ray. One day they are eating and fine, the next day they are dead. You will always be taking a gamble purchasing one.

What I meant was perhaps better techniques of feeding or caring for them? Or as you mentioned better sources perhaps. Thanks for your response. Do you ha e any good sources to read up on them and their care?
