Help ID the New Hitchhiker

[StoneAquatics]

We have acquired a new friend who came in on one of our coral pieces. Everyone at the store seems to be in agreement that it's a baby eel, but what kind? I've tried to get the best pictures I can and attached them. Let us know what you think!

Where are the pieces from? Indo, aussy, hawaii?

Most eels are pretty ugly until they get larger. Is it a fang tooth, or a pebble tooth?

 

[StoneAquatics]

It's from Indonesia. As to fang tooth or pebble tooth, I'm not sure. He's so small we can't really see into his mouth very well. We all kind of figured it might be difficult to ID him until he gets older and starts getting markings (if he develops any), but thought maybe someone would know now.
