We show that the particle-hole conjugate of the Pfaffian state-or anti-Pfaffian state-is in a different universality class from the Pfaffian state, with different topological order. The two states can be distinguished easily by their edge physics: their edges differ in both their thermal Hall conductance and their tunneling exponents. At the same time, the two states are exactly degenerate in energy for a nu=5/2 quantum Hall system in the idealized limit of zero Landau level mixing. Thus, both are good candidates for the observed sigma(xy)=5/2(e(2)/h) quantum Hall plateau.
