Are these the same type of clown?

Both of these were purchased under the name of true perc. Thing is the one is alot darker than the other and their black stripes are very thin. Can anyone tell me if they are true percs or occ.

They're both ocellaris clowns.

ok i wasn't sure the larger/lighter clown has been picking on the smaller one a lot lately. I wasn't sure if it was an issue with them being different types of clowns or what. Could they possibly be paired up then and the larger one be female?

How big/old are they? The one in the second pic looks like it could be a B&W ocellaris juvenille.

not sure on age. They are about an inch and a half

That`s my thought also .

i don't know i was looking at juvenille b&w percs at the lfs and they seemed to be darker this one has more orange than the pic lets on.

The first one definitely looks like an ocellaris. The second one could be a true perc (notice the black lines are wider) but is not a B&W ocellaris. Also, the second one looks to be in very bad shape. I would think twice about purchasing from that LFS in the future.

The clamped fins, sunken belly and visible lateral line. The other one looks healthy though.

I think that the second picture is a B&W juvie. It may be the lighting.
