hmmmmm, well it's the lack of the white on the fins for the common that makes me wonder

Young ancistrus show that white edging, usually under 2 inches. You can see the edging in the pic Here if you look closely.

I agree with young Ancistrus. I bought one thinking it would keep the nice white tail, but it didn't. It was sold to me as a "Royal Clown Pleco".
