Not the greatest of photos because it was so tiny, around 4-5 inches long. Possibly a banded snake eel or a harlequin pipefish? Apparently banded snake eels are not native to the Caribbean though. We spotted it in around 30 feet at Tori's reef today.

Good spot! Often difficult to get decent photos. Harlequin pipefish, one of my favorites.

Thanks for the ID. Guess I need to change the name of the photo.
