Ocellaris and True Perc Compatible?

Hey everyone, just wanted to know if True Percs and Ocellaris' are compatible to place in a tank. I know different species are hostile towards each other, but would these two not know the difference? :rolleyes: :D
Only reason why I'm asking is because I really have no idea what kind of clownfish I have. I posted earlier about this, with the stripes not touching and all, and it's kind of difficult to count dorsal spines...
Maybe, if I take a good pic, I'll show her to you guys...

Different species are not always hostile towards each other. Many times different species have even mated. Pairing any clownfish is a hit and miss kind of thing. Some have a more aggressive personality than others.
Here is the way I can tell if it is a percula or ocellaris clown. The black stripe on the middle white stripe would come forward and touch the first white stripe. And the middle white stripe bulges forward in the middle. That may not always be the case, but it has IME. Here is a picture of one of my perculas a few weeks ago. R.I.P

Thanks replying, now I feel safer about wanting to get another clown in my tank. Like I said earlier, it's kinda hard to tell exactly what kind of clown I have because as Bang told me, the reason why the stripes don't connect is because my clown was malnourished when it was younger. So I sorta have a one-of-a-kind clown. :)
