It looks really close to a L182 but the large white spots stump me a little. Anyway, that would be my guess.

hey guys someone told me that this is L255 medusa spotted pleco... it looks similar but the spots are not white like the ones the L255 has

It is not L255.

I have seen several imports of these fish all came from Peru.

I'll try to match with an L number later.
