This maybe a completely stupid question, but what is the difference between a false percula clown and a true percula clown? I am new to SW and am planning to start a tank later this year. I'm starting to research now and I love the true and the false, but was wondering what the difference is between them.
Thanks!

true percs have alot more black inbetween the white stripes on the body.
i think there might be a few other minor features. others will chime in to help you out.

also, if you ever want them to host... True percs exhibit the hosting behavior more so than the ocellaris.
