Id The eel

[wrightme43]

I have always thought this is a zebra moray. I have looked and looked and cannot find any eel that looks like it except a snowflake in body shape but not coloration. Any Ideas?

It looks like someone crossed a banded eel (Mlyrichthys Colubrinus) and a snowflake. However, it only partially looks like both. I don't have a clue.

I think it might be the Echidna Pozyona or the girdled moray. Take a look at this and tell me if you think its close.
