Turns out it is an eel blenny.Looks like some sort of snake eel, but the picture is blurry and the video doesn’t work for me.
Yeah, that's a Napoleon Snake Eel (Ophichthus bonaparti).Turns out it is an eel blenny.
But this new pic is snake eel right?
THANKS!Yeah, that's a Napoleon Snake Eel (Ophichthus bonaparti).
How about this one? Sorry for asking. Looking for the right eel lolYeah, that's a Napoleon Snake Eel (Ophichthus bonaparti).
Haha, I don't mind - any chance of clearer pics of this one? It's not as distinctive as the Napoleon.How about this one? Sorry for asking. Looking for the right eel lol
Any that is nice to look at and moderate difficulty. Eel lover since I was a kid. of course It just depends what is available where I am at. And the local store who imports marine fish worldwide tend to not know the proper names lol. I myself am not familiar with every eel.What kind of eel are you looking for?
Haha, I don't mind - any chance of clearer pics of this one? It's not as distinctive as the Napoleon.
If not, some potential candidates for what it might be:
-Uropterygius xanthopterus
-Gymnothorax polygonius
-Gymnothorax zonipectis
I'm thinking this one may be a Kidako Moray, Gymnothorax kidako.
There you go. The seller just send me pics
Agree with thisI'm thinking this one may be a Kidako Moray, Gymnothorax kidako.
I am up for any eel really. But I just wanna have 2 small ones for now cuz only have a 100g for my predator tank. But of course my choices are at the mercy of whatever the fishermen catches(they export the fishes around the world, and have lots of clients in US petshops they said).I have a snowflake moray and a jeweled moray in my tank. Both are amazing eels! On the smaller side. Whats your tank set up? Maybe I can help recommend an eel based on size, fish and other stuff in there
Smallest moray eel will be about 2 feet as an adult. Snowflake and chain links are this size, same with the jeweled moray I have!Thanks guys!

Yeah, there are a handful of morays smaller than that, but I think I've only ever seen one in the trade - so two feet is the smallest I would reasonably expect.Smallest moray eel will be about 2 feet as an adult. Snowflake and chain links are this size, same with the jeweled moray I have!
Yep! Only other one I know of is the dwarf golden moray but those are so rare and expensive!Yeah, there are a handful of morays smaller than that, but I think I've only ever seen one in the trade - so two feet is the smallest I would reasonably expect.
Ah, I remember I saw one other species once recently (this is the only time I've ever heard of another species of small eel entering the hobby):Yep! Only other one I know of is the dwarf golden moray but those are so rare and expensive!

Dwarf moray eel - Canton Island Moray
Has anyone here kept one of these dwarf Canton island morays or have experience with them? I have seen what I think is one of these at our local fish store. It is over a year and a half old, possibly 2 years, maybe 7-8”. Very very small! I’ve never heard of this eel before.www.reef2reef.com
