Help with eel identification

[AquaticYeti]

Hello All!

I recently purchased a 75g setup and cant identify one of the eels in the tank. Please see pics below. I do intend to sell both of the eels (1, 7" snowflake eel and 1, 10" unknown type of eel). Huge thanks in advance!

Looks like gymnothorax tile, commonly known as the Indian mud moray or even snowflake eel.
It is commonly a brackish eel and does best in high brackish to marine conditions.

Here's a pic of the Snowflake eel:

Agree on Indian mud moray - a little hard to tell from photos though

Yea, my photos are crap; apologies. I will try to get better shots. He is elusive.

So my LFS is offering to rehome the eels for an unspecified in-store credit. I have no idea of value for the Indian mud moray. The LFS currently has a snowflake the same as mine for $75. When I first spoke to them about the possibility of rehoming they mentioned that they typically do up to 50% of the sale value as in-store credit.

Is that reasonable? What do you all feel is the true value of each?

I feel like thats fair. Mud moray is about 55 dollars.

Looks to me like a mud moray, interesting species and I’ve never seen one in captivity over here.

Ok, the most important thing for me is getting them to a good home. Thanks!
