What type of moray?

[LStewart]

Saw this eel in a coral head with 2 other eels and some type of worm looking creature. Is it an albino or something else?

Where was this?

In Bonaire? Looks like a Spotted Moray Eel.

I don’t think it’s an albino- that’s a defined set of traits.

looks more like a Pacific variety but yes, location and approximate size would help

At a unmarked southern dive site off Bonaire.

Sorry, you are correct. South of Salt Pier at Bonaire.

Possibly but I thought spotteds would look more like this - Spotted moray eel : Dallas World Aquarium

Yeah, forgot to include this was in Bonaire. Looks closer than anything else I've seen. Except they have a distinguished greenish head. Mine doesn't.
