NE Body know the name of this

Picked this up today for a 100 bucks would love to know the name of it in order to research.

 

Looks like some sort of moray eel. You just bought it and never researched it?

 

leopard moray

 

Tessalata Eel (same thing as a Leopard?) Gymnothorax favagineus maybe?

 

Yeah, leapord or skeletor.
Before spending a 100 bucks I would have researched as they may eat other fish!

 

I was going to say that is one way to get the damsels out of the tank if they are unwanted.

 

Leopard eel’s are beautiful, when I was diving in Hawaii I saw lots of them – during a few night dives they came out and were very active. I know very little of them in the aquarium so I can’t help you there – but other here will. If it will get along with your other inhabitants I suspect you will love the addition. Good Luck

 

Stole it

 

I've kept eels before I have a zebra now that i've had for seven years.The store had this marked as marble moray and I couldn't find that anywhere.The book I have showed the Tessalata as black and white only so I wasn't sure. Thanks to all who chimed in.BTW he/she seems to love the 125 gal. he has all to him/herself.

 

i just saw one today for about $200 so you got yourself a steal. question: were those damsels intended to be an eel snack?
