What type of pleco?

[Dcfish]

Hi, I’ve had my tropical aquarium for about a year, but shamefully I don’t actually know what type of fish this is exactly attached . I’m know it’s a pleco, but no more than that! Could anyone help? I have 2, both just hitting 2 inches long. Thank-you.

That's a clown pleco. One of the smaller plecos and tend to be quite shy. A heavy wood eating species too

Looks like a clown pleco to me. We have one and he’s lovely. It’s great to see him when he does come out of the driftwood.

Is it a flash plec? The fine stripes on the tail are a bit different to a clown?

There are multiple different species sold under the common name clown cleco, so some won't look the same. The OPs species would be Panaqolus maccus

Flash plecos would look like this:
