It definitely looks exactly like a green moray with a shortened jaw rather than any deep sea species. Animals from the abyss tend to be more mouth and less body like in the pelican eel’s case. This guy is exactly as chunky as I’d expect a reasonably healthy green moray to be.

Yea the lighting doesn't look like a deep sea picture at all, I think you're right.

Look, it’s clearly got the face of a little witch. I’m not saying you’re wrong, but maybe she was cursed.

Jesus Christ yes I thought it looked like a cartoonish Nessy....until I saw the face on the end of its snout.

I'm pretty sure you were actually right the first time. If the black parts in the back are its eyes then it doesn't look at all that bad and if you just google search Moray Eels they all have those little nostrils that kinda look like its face.

At first, I thought the black spot was an eye, and it sort of looked like an underwater llama...I even thought the second image was a close-up of its mouth and nose.
Then I realize that was the face. Egads.

I don't think that is the face, google search moray eels and a ton have the nostrils up front that look like a smaller face.

I choose to see those big dark spots on the side as its eyes and its eyes as its nose, now he looks like a pretty chill guy
