Fish ID

While night diving at Oil Slick, I saw a pale blue eel with black dorsal fin. We saw a ribbon worm swimming in our lights. (it really freaked out one of our younger divers). And small (1"-2") blue fish swimming into us. Does anyone know what the eel is? and the small fish?
Thanks,

Thanks,

how big was the eel,

The manytooth conger fits the color description,
but they are pretty big. can be up to about 5 feet

the small fish might just be larval anythings.
larval fish are attracted to lights at night, and
they all have a bluish color. were they transparent

The eel was 3-4'. So, it might have been that. I'll check that out. We went early, just after sunset, and it was strange how "quiet" the reef was. I'm sure if we went later the true night creatures would have been out, but I was home and in bed by 10pm. Thanks for the info.

Edit: After looking at some pics of the Many Toothed Conger Eel. That was it Cool!!
