To expand on the post from Silurus - Lucipinnis has only been recognised scientifically since the end of last year & this information is very slow to filter out to the general community. I have both in my main tank & they are clearly different when seen side by side. Shops are still calling lucipinnis petricola in most cases i have seen lately
