Juck is right...they are Ocellaris not Percula. Percs have more of a fatter dark bands around their white stripes. Yes 100 percent sure.

Actually it is not uncommon for perculas to have almost no black around their white. They just don't make it to the LFS very often because....well what would be the point?
I do agree with the other guys on the ocellaris ID though, with one question. Is the fish in the 2nd pic in one of the other pics as well?

The bottom one is the female and the top one is the male in the picture of them together.

Re: percs or oc's
It's impossible to tell the sex from those pictures,,, even if they are different sizes they could both be immature/undetermined juveniles.
How old are the fish? Where did they come from? How big are they? How do they behave towards each other? How long have they been together?

Ummm, its not impossible if Nikki is trying to say that they are an established pair. If she was trying to say that she thinks one is the male and one is the female than they are already a male and female thus its not "impossible."

how old are the fish? not quite sure
where did they come from? A trusted lfs
how big are they? the bigger one (wich i call the female) is about 2 inch. and the smaller one (i call male ) is about 1 1/2 inch.
how do they behave towards each other? they have been sleeping together sine i got them, tho i do see the bigger one sometimes chase the smaller one off, at night they sleep in the same anemone.
how long have they been together? they lady at the LFS told me they had paired off about a month before i bought them, i have had them now for 4 months.
