I really like him a LOT. PetsMart had him labled as a "Syno. multipunctatus/Syno. decorus Hybrid". There's a thread about them on MFK at http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=253576

Is it just me, or does the dorsal shape look different than the second pic? maybe its just the angle.
the first pic looks like a standard decorus syn the second looks like a leopard syn
i have a supposed decorus/euruptus cross and it has never looked anything like that

I knew some people called them Valentine Synos, but here's the Planet Catfish link to them.

Pure decorus have stripes, not spots, through the caudal (tail) fin. Anytime you see one with spots on the tail it's a hybrid. Most likely crossed with S. multipunctatus.
