Multipunctatus or Petricola?

This guy is hard to photograph lol. He hides if I'm nearby but as soon as I get 5 feet away he comes out swimming in full bumblebee mode, hard to capture a photo.
I purchased him as a Petricola. I want to give him some tank mates but I'm only just learning how to identify this complex genus.
He's been in a 75 gallon and has gone from 1.5" long to about 3.5" in 6 months which sounds pretty fast to me.
Is it possible he's one of those "valentini" that are a supposed hybrid of Multipunctatus and S. Decorus?
The size of his spots and the growth rate make me think he's not a petricola
