Ocellaris have been bred into many color morphs. The scientific difference between Ocellaris & Percula clownfish has to do with the number of rays in the dorsal fins.

Having said that, the color is what leads me to (strongly....99% certain) that these are Ocellaris clowns. Percs generally have a stronger more deliniated portion of black surrounding the white bars. Ocellaris do not. Percs also do not (generally) get the muddy orange color that these clowns are showing, Ocellaris do when they get older.
