These were both sold to me as percula clowns. I know one has to be different from the other? I only paid 5$ a peice for them so I dont feel like I got ripped off, but I would just like to know for my records and to see if a certain one has different needs than the other.
 
The one with the black around his/her bars (bigger) is a true percula the one with straight white stripes (littler) is a false percula or Ocellaris (different name for the same fish) clownfish.
 
It looks like you have a perc and an occilaris. They are pretty similar but not the same. $5 is a crazy good deal. The best I have seen at either of my stores is $17. They are usually $25 around here.
 
Thanks! I can never tell the clowns apart unless they are black or maroon :D 5$ on craigs list, not bad. Thinking of using that site first before I go to the LFS for livestock.
