False vs True Percula Clowns

[pat713]

What's the difference? Other than the True Percula being alittle bit brighter orange, is there any size, behavior, etc, differences?

The true perculas are supposed to be a little bit more aggressive.. I have 2 true perculas and they show no aggression towards any fish, but when I put my hand in the tank they become territorial and go after my hand....

Any size difference? or is it only the behavior?

I thought false percs were ocellaris clowns?

false percs are ocellaris.
true percs can be a little more difficult to keep when compared to ocellaris. in other words, they're not as hardy. as mentioned, they are usually less passive. i've had both and that's the only difference in behavior i've ever noticed. they both have the fun way of swimming by bobbing up and down.
