You and KAT74 is right.
A false perc is Amphiprion ocellaris and a true perc is a different species called Amphiprion percula
The photo is an ocellaris species.

thank you everyone who replied!

I think its a false perc. Very nice clownfish!

 

[bang guy]

11 Dorsal spines = True Ocellaris.

oncce again thank you everyone! the reason for the argument was b/c a i added a B/W ocellaris and my buddy said that itr was not a good idea but they are both Ocellaris just diffrent colors so i dont see the problem!
if it was a true perc then yes i would say there was a problem!

I will agree that adding two different species together most likely will in time, result in problems, however, adding two of the same species can also result in problems if they are both of one particular gender ( FM ). I hope thats not your case and all will be fine.

Because once a clown changes from a juvenile (male) into a female (large, dominant) it cannot re-change its ---. So if he has two larger clowns (female) then they will just fight and fight - if you get two small juvenlies (males) one will eventually ----out and become female.

Because once a female is established it cannot go back to male. 2 females in the same space usually results in a fight as they are both dominate.

I used to have nightmares about that happening to me when I was 4.
