Indeed, while at one of the LFS a few months ago, I asked, "Is this an Oscillarious clown?" and the reply I got was, "Nope, it's a False Percula ... we don't carry Oscillarious clowns, only False Percs." Of course, this is the same young fellow who when trying to sell me an anemone said to my comment about only having compact flourescents, "Oooooh, those are perfect, just the exact lights you need for an anemone!"
I tend to go by the amount of black . . . as mentioned TPs have much broader black stripes, the Oscis have something akin to just a black outline of their white stripes.
