False percula?

There are a few differences that are noticable, first of all the false percs are hardier and are a brighter orange color while the true percs are darker with black outlining their white lines. The false don't have black on their lines. Also you'll notice the true percs cost more than the false sometimes.
Notice the scientific names too, the false percula is "ocellaris" and the true perc is just called "percula"
