Id eel please

[cubsfan]

this is at a local pet shop, its listed as a snowflake for $14.99. I'm thinking its a jeweled moray. These are the best photos I could get. It has a brownish body with gold dots, about 1 foot long.

[ryanhayes9]

[knichols0313]

I don't see them either.

 

[cubsfan]

I'll try again

i think somethings wrong with photo bucket
how about now?

 

[aw2x3]

I see the pic, but it's so small and blurry you can barely tell the difference between the fish and the rock.

 

[cubsfan]

not sure if these are any better

 

[surfinusa]

It looks like a snake eel of some sort.

 

[greenwolf52]

yellow edge moray?

 

[cubsfan]

After some research I think it may be a gold spotted moray (gymnothorax miliaris) but i could be wrong. So any help would still be great.
thanks

 

[aw2x3]

It's not gymnothorax miliaris.

What's sad is people condesending and talking down about other people, who don't know a lot about Morays. Sorry we all can't be as all knowing as you.
There aren't too many species of Moray that I don't know, but with the blurry pics, even I was stumped.
Glad you finally found a correct ID, cubsfan.
