Name this Eel

Featured Replies

Shot was taken last month in Wakatobi. I think it's a Giant Moray, but all those white rings have me wondering. Never noticed them before on an eel. Can anyone make more of a positive id?

I'm not certain about the species, but certainly Gymnothorax. It has the look of a Stout, too, but those are pretty small. I wonder if those white rings are moray ringworm 😉

That's the only picture I took of it. I was most interested in getting a shot of the white rings on it.
