i'm stuck on the fact that i was gone for 3 days, then got home and was down for the count, so he went 3-4 days without eating. other than that, seemed like he was doin alright

A moray that size doesn't just starve to death in a few days. I'm not saying it's impossible but it's unlikely. You were away for 3 days and then sick, so maybe something was off with the water. Have you checked your parameters recently? Any swings could've done him in.
