Strange sea creature fish Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

In what universe was anything in that video strange?

[Endy0816]

The strange thing is that the creature is actually in the open ocean and yet is surrounded by a tank filled with humanoid creatures capable of crude vocalizations. We must monitor this situation carefully to see if it is keeping the humanoid creatures as pets or if they are being used in animal testing.

This is not science news (moved), and that looks like a moray eel.

 

Videos need to have some topic of discussion. Please read the rules

 

Also, one post per topic, please. Identical video posts merged.

Deffo an eel of somekind... I first thought 'moray eel' too.

[Basic Biology]

Its a snowflake moray eel, Echidna nebulosa. Its a common aquarium species

Indeed. This man right.

 

As well as that, I believe I went to the same Aquarium as you in Malaysia. There's usually a list next to the tank, with a picture, and it should tell you a brief description of the animal, as well as it's species.

Well, we generated 150 views for his youtube video. Normally, I would have removed this as spam (no topic, only a link?), but I noticed that my fellow moderators have tolerated this particular case. Since we seem to treat it as a puzzle, I'll post my answer too:

It's a moray eel.

But it appears that Basic Biology already wins the prize.
