The person you are referring to is Guy Scavone, who is one of the more reputable breeders in this hobby. His line of anery is referred to as platinum anery, which is said to be a different strain of anery.
You will likely not find anyone who has expiremented with this gene yet because there are so few animals of this line in existence.
You said they look like normal anery to you, which may be true, but looks are not everything. The claim that this is a new line of anery comes because guy bred his platinum anery to a normal strain anery and did not produce a single anery animal. Instead, he had a litter of normal appearing offspring that are double heterozygous for both strains of anery. Therefore, that means the 2 strains are incompatible and different from one another, regardless of whether or not they appear similar to the naked eye.
The same can be said about kahl and sharp strain albinos. Look very similar and nearly imposible to tell apart (especially as babies), yet breeding them together will not produce albinos because they are not compatible. Instead the pairing makes normal appearing offspring that are double heterozygouss for both strains of albino.
Hope this helps
