A guy is selling his 2 moray eels. The one on the right I can tell is a snowflake but the one on the left I can't tell whether it's a tesselata, zebra, or just a weird pattern snowflake. He bought them when they were 6" long and now ~14". The fish store sold it as a banded eel.

How close in resemblance is it to a Zebra Moray?

There are 2 eels that people will call the banded eel. the one on the left is an Echidna polyzona. Those 2 would be happy to grow up in at least a 75g together, and are generally fish safe, appropriately size fish.
