Why do I get the wrong answer when using hashcat?

Hello everyone, I am doing task 6 of ‘Hasing basics’ at THM but I get the wrong answer after hashcat is done. The question is:

Use hashcat to crack the hash, $6$GQXVvW4EuM$ehD6jWiMsfNorxy5SINsgdlxmAEl3.yif0/c3NqzGLa0P.S7KRDYjycw5bnYkF5ZtB8wQy8KnskuWQS3Yr1wQ0, saved in ~/Hashing-Basics/Task-6/hash3.txt.

My input is as follows:

hashcat -m 1800 -a 0 ~/Hashing-Basics/Task-6/hash3.txt rockyou.txt

This gives: sunshine13 -> scrubs but the answer is different.

What am I doing wrong?
