    I would rather have a true perc then a false one.

    I'm not certain on the ID on that one. But as fish grow, their colors change. Same goes for clowns. As they mature, their stripes will more fully develop.

    i looked up a misbar false percula and it is very possible that it could be one but i dont know why they would have sent you that kind because they are usually more expensive. I would think that they would try to maximize profits and charge more for the misbar than the regular clown fish.

    That looks like an extreme misbar. Misbars can be both ocellaris and percula. To me, it looks like a misbar percula. Your's looks almost like naked percs. The dark parts next to the stripes are distinct.
