picture? they're not too hard to differentiate visually. I can to some degree, but others here would be much better. Either way, a picture would help

i was trying to up load the pics but having tech difficulties. the black bars are thin like an oc but the color is a deeper orange than most $18.00 clowns and im only counting 9 dorsal spines

I believe they're Occ. Percs usually have an orange ring around the eye. Also, Occ usually have a gradient of color from top to bottom - Percs are the same shade of orange throughout their body.

Again, I'm still new at identifying these - so take the above with a grain of salt

Solid black eye is almost always Occ
