Black Ocelaris

Does anyone know anything about these guys? Are they relatively hardy? Are they hard to find? I am going to buy a pair tommorow at the LFS.

From what I have heard from the LFS...
they are normal perculas that are selectively bred so all the orange comes out of them...
so, they are probably as hardy as normal perculas, especially since they are captive bred.

I used to have one. They can also be called chocolate clowns. They are very hardy, same as the false perc only black.
