That eel looks amazing!!! what type is it? Some Undulated moray color morph possibly? Perhaps a color change due to defensive display? It's Stunning!!

If you Google image: indo pacific eel. It is on page 6

I'm not a photography expert, but there's a very good chance the colors are way off in that picture. Look at the color of the water and the sand. It looks like blue raspberry kool-aid.

That's what water looks like at depth. The deeper you go, the bluer everything becomes as you "loose" other colors. The colors may be accurate - though the pic may have been touched up a bit.
