Looks a bit like a sturisoma aureum.
I agree, it does look like a sturisoma aureum. How did it wind up in your tank if you didn't put it in yourself?
Could have accidentally came into the tank as a little fry from an addition of plants or fish
What's its current size that you weren't able to spot it before?
I'm not the OP lol. I was just coming up with possibilities on how it could have gotten there...
My mistake...

total length is now about 3 inches, heavily planted 150 gal tank can hide anything.
Then it must have been hiding quite well if it's got this size already...

VERY GOOD QUESTION !!!! Gabe with Wattley Discus identified it in about a nano second. I checked him out and he is spot on. It is a baby Whiptail Farawella. A type of Pleco according to Gabe.
It could be any of the sturisoma. IMO the coloration looks more like the one I suggested earlier in this thread.
It is a Sturisoma species for sure. But I'm not sure if it's the Whiptail Farawella. They do look somewhat similar to the S.aureum. Maybe it should grow up more before you'll be certain which Sturisoma species it might actually be.
