same type of clownfish?

I recently bought a new clownfish to replace a recent loss due to mummification (it jumped out of the tank; I found it 4 weeks later, underneath the tank, a miniture fish mummy), but I"m not sure if it's the same... I've been looking for weeks at the LFS for one with similar Heavy black markings as fish #1, but fish #2 was the closest I've been able to get... They seem to be getting along. What do you guys think?
Second, I've got some beatiful, red feather dusters, scattered here and there throughout my tank. This pic is the best I could get of it... sorry. Anyone ever seen this kind before? What kind is it? :) :)

Well it looks like you have 1 true percula and 1 false percula. I'm not very sure but i think they should pair up. I don't know what kind of featherdusters they are but i have them too.

Just noticed your in SA. There is a brand new lfs that is by far the best one in town. They have the best prices i have seen and very healthy fish. Email me and i will give you the site to the club in SA.

I have several False Percula. They came from different places. Some look like Pic #1 and the others like pic #2
I may be wrong but I don't think a (True) Amphiprion percula can breed with a (false) Amphiprion ocellaris.
Don't quote me on that though.

I agree . . . you have one false percula and one true percula. The one with the thicker black markings is the true. I don't know if they will pair up or not.
How did you go four weeks without noticing that a fish was missing?

Ross, I've sent you an email... Thanks for the reply.
007, I noticed that the fish was missing right away... It took four weeks to figure out where it went to and retrieve it.
So, can a true percula and a false percula pair up? any other opinions?

Thankyou flamehawk. So far, it does appear as if my true perc is going to pair up with the false perc... The false perc that's in the picture above more or less swims right next to the true perc. I'm not really sure how to tell if they're "paired up". If they do pair up, it'll be doubly interesting, because there's the pair of false percs in my tank and the lone true perc, and the false perc chose to hang out with the true perc, rather than with the second false perc. I'll keep you posted.
