That looks like a M Dayi eel or black spotted eel. I have one about 24" at my house in Phoenix :)

In the spiny eel family I believe

Do you know what species that eel is? I've never seen one like that before

Miss mine :( but yeah ours died around 24" and 2yrs old... Wouldn't surprise me if the species got close to 30".. Similar disposition to armatus but not quite as aggressive.
