True Perc=Black vest/orange pants.Onyx= Black vest/Black pants....I would classify your fish as a True Perc,and a very nice one at that.Also the tail bar is full so I think your fish is older than 2 years,So I do not think the back flank will color any more.My opinion.

The white stripes/Bars are
starting at the head)Collar,Belt,Sox.....The flanks are like shirt and pants.Behind the middle stripe(belt) is the rear flank(Pants).....Yes that is the main difference.There are several other differences...such as depth of blackness.Dirty head,Black Dorsal,Tanable VS Genetic.You are going to ask about that one so I will go ahead and answer....An Onyx that keeps its blackness in all light conditions is a Genetic Onyx.The ONYX that looses its color in low light is a Tanable Onyx.But then I am being picky.I need to be( see interest at the bottom of my post).

nice male, although perhaps it is not entirely lighting or the variables you mentioned being that it was wild caught perhaps the stress of coming into the aquarium as opposed to being in the ocean, as well as seeing many perculas brown out in perhaps bad water quality and or lighting. Is it safe to day that all wc 'onyx' lose their coloration or is it just hit and miss?
