I took the picture of this sea snail while diving at the northeastern coast of Taiwan on September 15,2022. The scientific ID that I learned from Wikipedia is:Pleuroploca filamentosa 赤旋螺. But the Scientific ID that I got from iNaturalist is Filifusus filamentosus. Is there anyone can help on this different ID ?

Help how? It's the same species, moved to a different genus, and in Wiki it's not in the old one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filifusus_filamentosus and you can see the history of names on WoRMS https://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=217072
Thank you for the comments. Now I see there is a difference between English version Wikipedia and Chinese version Wikipedia .
