Inshore lizard fish?

It’s a moray I think. They lose color when dead.

Morays come in assorted colors, not just green.

?If there's an eel on the reef, and it's got big sharp teeth, that's a moray.....

Dang, Nic's got secrete talent. ?

Snake eel.

There are different species

yep. moray's eye's are on the side of their head. snake eels are more towards the top.

The one in the original pic has been dead for some time. It's why the head is so pulled back. It's anal fins are also pulled back. could also be a shrimp eel as they are found inshore. No doubt it's an eel.

Here's a snake eel.

Inshore lizard fish?

No. Lizards have tall dorsal fins and scales.

Here’s a Moray. Caught him on the reef in the Keys but a shark wanted him. This is what’s left of him.

Baby cutlassfish?

Cutlassfish or ribbon fish are silver and that would be a BIG one in my experience. They make great baits for smoker kings and are surprisingly tasty when grillled. They are THICK in most passes just before dark and into the night. Big kings love 'em. Used to be you could get $20 a piece for them from the SKA crowd rigged properly....
