Interesting color pattern

Just thought I'd share a few pictures. Got a new camera and learning to use it.

Green Star polyps, some zoanthids, a leather, hammer, and a frogspawn, are her usual hangouts. She likes to roam. :D The color initially developed from the GSP. Originally I picked her up as an ocellaris, but once the color filled in, not to sure anymore.
 
Probably an ocellaris. They get the freckely color change from zoanthids and similar corals the strongest. I've seen it happen in percs, but it looks a little different. It will go away if she stops hanging out in those corals.
 
It's interesting, spines 1-7 are black, the tip of 7 is white, and the last three are white. (10 total) She doesn't stop moving for a good clear shot though. The male, has typical true ocellaris coloring with no speckling.
 
That happened to a perc I had too. Mine was pretty covered but not quite as much, the poor little guy.
 
It doesn't seem to be harmful to them at least. Several combinations of clown and anemone types cause pigment changes too.
 
Yeah it doesn't seem to hurt her, she continues to play. :D It makes it difficult to determine perc/occy though.
