Name that Eel....

[XcalakSteve]

At first I thought Spotted Moray but the more I look the more the head doesnt look right. Found in Bonaire.

Although more pale than usual, it still looks like a spotted moray, and the head looks fine (to me).

Seen one just like that in Bonaire last month myself.. While we're on the eel topic... How about this one? Also found in Bonaire @ Andrea II

XcalakSteve,
It has spots but Spotted Morays are often much darker. It could be a spotted moray.

Streetdoctor,
How about a Chain moray eel (Echidna catenata) for your Andrea's ?

awesome, just looked it up too... Thanks!

StreetDoctor that IS a Chain Moray

Somewhere in the Humann books I saw a pic of a reverse color spotted moray - could that be what Steve had? (of course now that I want it I can't find the reference) I also have pics of that type of eel from Bonaire.

I guess Murray the Moray wouldn't do, would it. How about Mortimer?

This is a Chain Moray. Steves doesnt look like this.

What about this one? It was taken in St. Martin a few weeks back.

That is a spotted moray eel.
