keyworm eel?

Hi there,

This has been discussed here: http://wetpixel.com/forums/index.php?showt...68&hl=ahlia and here: http://wetpixel.com/forums/index.php?showt...68&hl=ahlia

I think this is the Ahlia Egmontis. He was about 10 cms long at 90 feet in Roatan. On a really murky dive at spooky channel. Can anyone confirm or correct?

Thank you in advance.

IMHO it looks more like a juvenile moray of some sort than the key worm eel

I guess that's possible. I understand that Moray elvers can look quite different from adults. I initially thought It might be band tooth conger after looking in the Humann book, but since his snout is flattened and he lacks the tube nostrils I didn't consider a moray. Still curious.

Thanks for your comment.

if you look really closely, you can actually see the tube nostrils. If you have the original photo on your computer, if you blow it up you should be able to see them. that's why I said moray, but i still could be wrong
