Brad, I forgot to mention the eels in Hawaii. I know you're fond of them (I guess Frank Sinatra would say you have amore for a moray?), and that you have an eel buddy you visit regularly.
The eels in Hawaii are also morays, but the colors! I was floating in a couple of feet of water in one lagoon when a chocolate-colored head covered with small white spots peeked out at me (probably a whitemouth moray). At another beach I was gliding over some rocks and actually came upon a small moray out of its hole that was light-colored with purple blotches all over topped with yellow spots (probably a snowflake moray). They definitely must be subscribing to some fashion magazines that the California eels aren't seeing ...
