What: Whitemouth Moray Eel (Gymnothorax meleagris).
They grow to about 1 meter in length, but this individual was about half that size.

Those spots are so vivid! Great shot, Bobbie.
Whoa! What a face.
Amazing, your underwater photograph is so incredible and I've seen many sea animals for the first time through your shots.
Oh boy, keep your hands back. Interesting pattern.
Great shot!

I always love your photos. You share the most interesting things and you make me want to learn to swim so I can do this. What an experience it must be each time you go down.
Whoa! The amazing exotic marine life.
Thanks for sharing. :)
The spots on it's body is beautiful! :)
Nice catch!!! Mine's up hope you can drop by... Happy WW!
Beautiful shot! thanks for sharing the picture and the information too.
You have a way with those underwater dwellers. Spotty there looks like he is posing just for you.
that's one amazing shot..beautiful!
What an amazing photo. It's a stunning Moray!
An amazing creature - it looks very stylish in your photo. Great pattern.
What an utterly delightful creature so beautifully photographed.
Look at that face. Awesome capture as always.
Once again a lovely shot... Hard to believe how fast they are.. I worked at an aquarium and when we feed them you had to watch your back because they would try to steal fish from you...
What a fabulous photo capture!! I don't dive so seeing this creature is a treat and an education for me. Thanks for sharing!
Another great capture from you! He looks quite handsome that one - but I would keep my hands to myself!
Amazing photo and BTW, thanks for stopping by my blog.
I never knew there were so many different types of moray eels until today. Thanks!
When I saw the word "eel" my first thought was EW! But this one has a kinda cute face. ;-)
