A lot of plecos you can get your hands on, but because they're are hundreds, fish shops obviously don't stock one of each, just popular ones they can put a decent mark up on. The rare ones would be some of the smaller Hypancistrus sp., the blue eyed panaque, the xanto etc etc. Because most of them aren't "common" but you can't have them all. I'd look through a few around the size range your after and pick one you like. Chances are it'll still cost you a bit and not everyone will have one.
I've never seen one before. St. Louis has some really good pet stores for crazy plecos and I've never seen that one. It's pretty incredible...
Any good lfs that carries a number of Plecos will get them from time to time. They are imported from Venezuela on a regular basis. I tried to breed them but they are very difficult. I may get it a try again if I can get my hands on a trio or so.
