No.

He is currently being referred to as the 'Red freckled Night Eel' on account of the fact that he was found at night, shortly before i was scared witless by a rebreather diver who snuck up on me and is red, with freckly markings.

i am going to have to research several more books, - he isn't in the first 3 I have. I think Helmut D ought to be notified that his book has some stuff missing.

Could he be some sort of juvenile? Try looking at www.fishbase.org and searching for morays (site at the moment though doesn't seem to be working).

What ever species he is he's eely nice!

Can't help, had a look in my coral guide to the red sea and no joy.

I will plump for a baby red sea white spotted moray. Pure guess though.

Sounds like a good trip there.....

I'm guessing a Juvenile Yellow Headed Moray.
Check the similar head shape and nostrils....


Nice pics btw.

TaM

Edit: on second search, Eric looks more like a Juvenile Yellow Margin Moray - heres an adult.......same bulge at the neck etc.

But Yellow Margins are big, and the one in your piccy looks pretty small, so I'm revising my guess to a juvenile Yellow-Speckled Moray ( also known as the white spotted moray Gymnothorax Punctatus.
Grows to 90cm, and is brown with yellow speckles.

Gymnothorax punctatus, Red Sea whitespotted moray:

- from the Collins reef guide and fishbase
