You'd probably need a picture for a positive ID but it's often a saxatilis type. My pet store has had them labeled as "gold star pikes" or "gold spangled pikes" on two occasions -- once they looked like true C. saxatilis and once they were C. sveni. They also had a belly crawler mixed in with the sveni and still labeled it as a star pike.
