Slender-necked Sea Snake (Hydrophis coggeri) this snake is also long with a slender neck. The body has more distinct white markings and the head less black with a white blotch behind the eye. It looks just like snakes described as (Hydrophis coggeri). All the descriptions describe the range as around Autralia and the South Pacific. This was taken at Amami.
