Bonaire moray ID

Ok, fish experts. This moray was photographed at night on a Bonaire reef. The eel was smallish (a bit bigger than a goldentail) and shy. I've been calling it a chain despite the fact that it has very little yellow coloration. Could it be a juvenile? What do you think?

We saw two on our recent trip to Bonaire.
