A.ocellaris vs. A. percula

[chrismunn]

how can you tell the difference? if i was at the fish shop, and i was going to buy a clown, how would i be certain of which fish i was getting? besides asking the shop clerk....

 

[vthondaboi]

the black on the true perculas

 

[chrismunn]

is that it or are there any other ways?

 

[danieljames]

..that should be enough to discern chris. Just curious about any other ways?

The eye of a percula will be a clear, bright orange ring around the pupil. The eye of an ocellaris will look like a dark, muddy ring around the pupil.

There's also a difference in the overall body shape, but I dont think that's really the best thing to look for if you are looking for quick differences.
