True perculas. Do they have a big color change?

[05Xrunner]

So i have been wanting a pair of True pecs for my new tank. Couldnt find them anywhere but when i did the stores wouldnt sell them to me.
So my one LFS ordered me in some true percs. thats what their invoice had listed and all.
This is what i was expecting them to look like

this is one of the little guys I got..they both look the same

the one I got is like 1-1.25" looks identical to the True Perc they list on the ORA website..I really hope they color up like the first pic

That first pair may just be a darker pair... Or it could be what some are calling Onxy Perculas...

Here is a quote about true percula coloring...

The Percula Clown is normally vibrant orange color, with three wide white bands. The middle white band has a forward curving bulge. These bands are separated from the orange coloration by black lines. These black lines vary in width from specimen to specimen. In some cases they are so wide that the orange is barely visible and the fish appears to be black and white.

Anyone else want to chime in with more information? If not - I'll see if I can help more...

They look like juvi percs from the tail stripe development. They should get some more color, who knows how much though & it could take up to 1.5 years to fully color up.
