Occ or Perc?

[rkelman]

What's everyone's opinion? Occelaris or Percula? I think Occelaris.

 

[Smo]

Which one?

I see 12 Occelaris & 9 Percula's.

Just kidding!
I vote for Occelaris.

 

[elegance coral]

Definitely Ocellaris.

 

[rkelman]

Thanks for the replies. There is actually about 250 Black Occelaris in the backround

what are you talking about?

Thanks Slakker Big Als of all places

"what are you talking about?"
Occelaris typically have black eyes. Percs have an orange ring around them typically. Its not a fail safe method I don't think though. I wasn't sure where to start / stop counting the spines. The only thing that made me wonder about a possible perc is the smaller one has dark coloration.

not so of pictures in the many published books i've on hand, or any of the many A. percula and ocellaris i've seen over the past 28 years in the hobby. i have to wonder who came up with that idea, also can proponents of the "theory" cite any scientific papers to back it up?
anyways, you stop the count were the dorsal fins hard spines end and soft dorsal fin begins.
