I'v been arguing with my brother for a few days now as to what kind of clown this is. Neither of us is really sure if its an ocellaris or a percula. I cant get a picture focused enough to count the spines myself, this was the best I could get.

False Percula aka Ocelarris aka Amphiprion ocellaris. The true percula's have more black between the orange and white.

Yeah, i find that ocelaris clowns have a clear part at the ends of their fins. Perculas have it too but it is not as big. Perculas also have more black on them.
