Anarchias similis is a moray eel found in coral reefs in the Atlantic Ocean.[2] It was first named by Lea in 1913,[2] and is commonly known as the pygmy moray,[3] but is not to be confused with the Pacific species of the same name, Gymnothorax robinsi. It ranges in color and patterning from dark brown all over to blotched.[2]
