Very cool! Looks to me like Gymnothorax richardsonii.
How long has it not been eating?

well seth has had it for like mmmmmm 2 months and he said it would eat like once a week or two. i think its because he had a richardson and a green wolf in a 29 gallon and wanted a snowflake eel. I tried to feed him today anmd he got really close but then backed away. ive tried octo, shrimp,live clam and frozen clam. What else should i try?
theres not a lot of info on these guys...do you have any?
and can you drop me an email? ryanhayes96@excite.com
is this like a rare eel?

Not really a "rare" species...just not widely collected.
Once every week or two is not uncommon...remember, Morays can go months without eating.
Give it time to settle into it's new environment.
