Default ID Pleco

Saw this cute little pleco, but couldnt identify it, any gurus here have any idea?

Paging Grandmaster Edmundo

Sold just as bushy nose pleco, around 1.5inch

Looks like starlight L182 with white specks, but with brown body instead of black. The nice part are the pectoral fins, which are reddish orange in colour. This reddish orange is more prominent on the first pectoral rays, first dorsal and first caudal ray. The colour combi is like a mix of L24/25 and L91

Picture tells a thousand words






The tail is reddish orange even under my white&blue light.

i know right and my angels are so fast in grabbing food I fear that even the 134s are not getting enough food. have to throw food in and off lights to let the plecos have a chance.




Really like the reddish pectorals contrast with the white spots.
