Does anyone know the exact name of this pleco?

I have one and managed to forget what he is )

I know he doesn't get bigger than 6cm (hence my choice).

You have a SILK PLECO, Ancistrus sp. cf. hoplogenys

A great little algae eater with terriffic patterning. I have heard anything from 6cm to 6 inches for these guys, but they are still sort-of new to the masses, so I'm sure more information will be available soon. They are supposed to be cave spawners, similar to a 'regular' bushy nose.

Enjoy!

Not 6cm 6" in size . This is probably what you meant.

Hehe yup, just like I 'ment' to remember what it was called. )

He is a cute little begger and does like his algae.

Thx for the info.
