I don't know why they put the "viper moray" title up. Got me pretty excited and then I saw the fimby, not a great looking one at that.

Yea it looked to me like a fimbriated as well. I got confused where they put "Gymnothorax spp." being that they sell the fimby's on there site. Curious as to why they would do that if they regularly have the Gymnothorax fimbriatus... I will call and ask them?!? Just weird.

Okay I called and they had no real answer? Told me to call back Monday to ask the girl who posted it?

The girl just didn't know what it was I'd guess, but liked how it looked and included it.

"Every week, we walk through our warehouse and pull for you the 50 coolest things we have."

A lot of people more into corals and typical reef fish don't know much at all about eels, so I can easily see it happening that way. I'm sure there are other people there who know their eels. :)
