percula vs. true percula?

[zincoxide]

I have noticed people throwing the term "TRUE percula" around. Why is this?
Isn't a percula clown, a percula clown? If not, could someone please explain the difference.

True percula= Percula. False Percula= Occellaris.
Some people just go by the above for identification instead of saying percula or occellaris clown. Hope I didn't confuse you more.

No you didn't confuse me more, but if you could clarify the difference. Do they look pretty much the same? Will one accept an anenome and one not??

The false percula is more hardy and have brighter colors. I believe that is 2 of the differences.

Thats true but sounds kinda backwards. What happended was the Percula was described first, then when the other was discovered it ended up with the common name of false.
