Hey! I believe it is known as snowball or inspector pleco. Either L142 or L201. First time I am able to take a pic with light on!

Absolutely stunning. Unfortunately my pleco has a bad eye that's very sensitive. If he keeps that one eye shaded he's fine, but if its not he freaks.

Which one do you have? Oh btw I just found out that my Pleco is actually L240 and it goes by Galaxy of some sort.
 
It's a bristlenose

Yes and No
Bristlenose are usually the common name for Ancistrus species.

L240 are Scientific Name Leporacanthicus cf. galaxias(l240)

Yes the males have some Odontodes ( my new word of the day ) but not the same as common Bristlenose Plecos.

I'm a member of Planet Catfish :)
I learn new stuff there all the time.

L240s eat a lot of meaty foods. And they are gorgeous fish :)
