Clownfish.. What's the Difference?

[Nick James]

What is the difference between ocellaris, true perc and false perc?

I can see the colour difference and I know there are many varieties of each. BUT.. is there any difference in behaviour, etc between the three types I listed above?

Thanks for the info.. can't seem to readily find the answer on the internet

There really IS no false percula. That is a slang name for Amphiprion ocellaris. So there is Amphiprion percula and Amphiprion ocellaris. No behavior differences that I can ascertain.
