Hello! I bought this plant that came with this ID marker but what Planta shows for an African mask alocasia doesn’t look the same to me. Any ideas?

Yes 😉

I think it is a frydek

So this is a Alocasia micholitziana ‘Frydek.’ I think the confusion comes into it because a lot of people exclusively refer to the variegated version as ‘Frydek.’ But the base green micholitziana is more common to find a much more affordable… and also called ‘Frydek’ by some people 😅
