Photographed a moray at Oil Slick Leap on May 11 and have not been able to identify it. Pictures follow. One thought is that it is a common Green Moray, although it was a much darker green in color (almost khaki) plus the shape of its head is much rounder. Can anyone help? Thanks.

I think it's not spots but silt I see on that Moray?

Some of the white lines on the head are likely silt. However, in the originals (which have much better resolution than what I uploaded to BT), there appear to be light-green/golden spots/dots on the body. These do show up somewhat in the BT version, but not as clearly - see 2nd photo. Also, there is blue around the eyes and some on the mouth. Fewer/less-dense spots on the body of the eel in question than a goldentail eel on the same dive.
