True of False

True or False Percula?

 

[t4zalews]

you can tell by the definite eye that it is a true percula, although it does look like an occelarus with the thin black banding.

 

[joe1584]

looks like a hybrid or cross of both.

 

[awilson500]

Someone told me that false has 10 or 11 spikes and this one has 9

 

[awilson500]

I'm looking for a better home for this one. He is hosting that brain coral

bta?? not sure I know what that is.

I see a bubble tip. that is what I was thinking about. Althought I like carpets. I hear they are hard to keep alive.

 

[patriots81]

bta=bubble tip anemone. no, they are easy to keep alive. probably one of the easiest anemones. Carpets get big and are fish eaters so you might want to watch out for those, especiall in a 90 gallon tank that you have listed might be to small. also, an LTA (Long tentacle anemone) should be fine also. BTAs tend to stay on the rocks. LTAs tend to stay on the sand.

That is a flash photo of a A. ocellaris. The dorsal fin give it away. That and the coloration that is very typical of Ocellaris

 

[patriots81]

yes, it looks like an ocellaris. false percula

 

[WDLV]

Haha. I'm goin' with A. percula. The sclera of the eye being orange, the nose being stubby.
Some are really tough to distunguish and that's one of 'em.

 

[ExtremeClownfish]

I'm saying ocellaris as well. I've taken photos where the eye came out looking percish from the flash

 

[ocellaris123]

Im going to say ocellaris as well. The eye trick is not entirely accurate for telling the two apart, as I have seen ocellaris with orange rings around the pupil.

Very cool. Thank you all for responding.
