It looks like it has cryptocaryon as well. With it degrading so quickly from yesterday to today I would not expect it to survive. I have never seen any fish progress like that in one day from HLLE....

Common names do lead to confusion. Muraena retifera, reticulate moray, is not commonly available at all as it is found in deep waters. The mexican dragon commonly imported hails from the pacific,...
