It's one of the snake eels.

Snowflake eel
OP
hehe wish it was a snowflake, found out that it's a sharptail snake eel. I thought I was lucky finding it out of it's hole, but not for these guys, they are day hunters.
ah well, they just move so cool. it's almost mesmorizing.

Thats a tough one. I couldn't see much of the head, but from the colorations on the body and the physical characteristics it appears to be what some call the goldspot eel. Since you took the picture and most likely had a better view, go to:

then eels, scrowl down to goldspot and tell me if that is what your eel looks like up close.

Wow you are really lucky seeing that. I have only seen a couple. And yes, you are correct it is a sharptail eel.
