Are there any differences between Wild caught true percs and tank raised true percs other than a tank raised true perc having a better chance of living longer in an aquarium setting?

Tank raised don't necessarily live longer. They are acclimated to life in a closed system so have a better survivability rate. They also have less chance of parasites or other diseases.

Are there any other distinguishing features between the two, both physically and behaviorally?
 
Sometimes, but not always tank raised can have less color(not as bright), but that can be changed with a good diet, and lighting.
 
AC-web, I'm not sure if the clownfish I gave you is tank raised or wild. I hope they are getting along. Sorry
