True clowns are very similar to false but the true generally has more black pigment on the body but what the hell do I know top fish a false bottom could be a true

I thought the Trues White lines were outlined in black and the false was just white on orange no outlining?

I'm confused, I know that true percs have 10 dorsal spines, and false have 11, but I can't count them, they move too fast. And I'm not sure about either of them, because of the thick, black lines around their white stripes.

yea def not percs..a true perc eye as well has a distinct orange around the black. the false percs the whole eye is basically black
Are you sure? Because both of my clowns have a orange circle around their eye, and I know it does not look like that in the pic.

Ok new Question, what is the difference between false and real? is one tank raised and the other wild? Im just curious because I know I have false, and i want to add a ananomie, but someone told me that false ones wont even show it the time of dayh because they are tank raised and they know no different. If thats true or not I dont know
Thanks.

I hate the term false & real. They are both real Clownfish. I don't know who started that but they should be barred from the hobby.
Ocellaris and Percula are two different species of Clownfish that are similar in appearance.
Whoever told you that Ocellaris are all tank raised and don't adopt Anemone is not a reliable source of information for your future questions.
Just a suggestion but I'd advise you to avoid purchasing an Anemone until you have some additional experience with your aquarium. They are not as easy to keep as it would seem.

Thanks Sorry for the confusion.
