Looks like it has the head of a polli. they look about 7-8cm, whats the size?

To me it seems that this is not S polli, but more lucipinnis/petricola related

Are these the photos from Facebook?
They are definitely NOT Polli as it doesn't have a hard white spine on the dorsal/pectorals.

These are all Petricola variations

Yes I posted these on a Facebook group too

Anyone else have any idea

According to the cat-elog adult polli has a red iris. It doesn't look from the pics that your fish does. Does it have a red iris?

As I posted above, this fish has a white leading edge/hard spine to the dorsal & pectorals - only Lucipinnis & Petricola (&hybrids) exhibit this.

These are Petricola
