whats the difference between a black ocerllaris and a black and white percula??

 

[reeffreak]

None that I'm aware of.Some places sell the same black/white clown as Ocellaris or Percula.If I'm not mistaken many scientist consider both fish the same fish that has been separated at birth,sort of speak.

is there a difference in the looks?

 

[ccCapt]

Ocellaris and percula are 2 different species. They look very similar, but the false perc (ocellaris) has 10 spines on it's doral fin and the perc has 11.

percs tend to have the thicker black lines and ocellaris have thinner lines, but when all black and white...I didn't know that. 11 spines
