    Hi all. I am having a time trying to tell the difference between the false and the true percula clown.

    Which one is this little guy in the photo? (thanks!)

    You can find the exact answer if you google it. It has to do with the amount of dorsal spines. Judging by the quality of your pic, it should be easy to determine.

    I thought he was a true, but I'm not sure. He has thin black margins, but he's just a juvenile clown, if that makes a difference...

    He was in a tank full of false perculas. He is a much darker orange than the rest of them. Is color a factor at all?
