After doing some reading, it's apparently the same species as the golden moray eel, just a different color mutation found off the cost of Brazil. Basically the yellow pigment is more prominent and they come in variations -- some that are solid yellow with no dark pigment (like this one) and some with large spots/blotches of brown pigment all over and anything in between.
 
That is a sweet eel! And yes, it is a color varient of a goldentail moray (Gymnothorax miliaris). That one in the Divers' Den is probably the best looking one I have seen. Really like the spotting around the eyes.
