This is an adult snowflake moray eel. Their distinctive markings make them one of the easier eels to identify. Unlike other eels, they don’t have sharp teeth, but pebble-like plates which they use to crush the shells of their invertebrate prey.

A beautiful eel and interesting re the teeth.

I like seeing eels, especially when they’re in the open and swimming as this one was. They’re very graceful and quite quick.
