what is it
 
I need some help identifying a fish.. I've Inherited a fish tank, and
I've been looking after it for a couple of months now. I've
identified all of the fish except one.. we only ever see his head so
it's been a bit difficult to work out what he is.

anyway the other weekend we moved the tank and he decided to stay out
for a bit so I took some pictures of him...

Sure look like an Eel to me. How small is it? Have you observed it eat?

No, "King Marc", it's an engineering goby in it's adult form.

It is a Barred Moray Ell _Echidna polyzona_ and with a nice black and white color pattern,
not always seen, as some are rather drab in color
