I'm trying to find out this id for a friend of mine. It was sold as a wolf eel. Can anyone ID the animal from these pictures? It doesn't look like the standard google photos but I wasn't sure if that because it's just a juvenile. Thanks for your help.

dzovi your mailbox is full so I came back to the thread!

I have seen them in a few different colors, but there is something distinctive about the species in their head shape and jowls... they can also see much better then any other eel!
