Hi guys!
I think I made a bit of a mistake.
Was at lfs for getting a pair of clowns, and he told me he was going to give me 2 morph occellaris (snowflake??) for the price of percula clownfish. Now that I am looking at them they seem to me percula clownfish though...what do you think?

Definitely look like percs. Though they have the bright orange around the iris which is a ocellaris trait. 100% not snowflakes at a minimum.
 
Gotta count up the dorsal fin spines.

This used to be easy to discern from coloration but all of the “death by designer clownfish” from ORA and the like has made it pretty tricky.

They are really beautiful though so worst case you bought a couple of percs for the price of a couple of percs.

Sure its not a deal breaker but the only reason I decided to spend around twice the price of vanilla ocellaris was that the price was justified by the morph.
Do percula actually cost that much more?
Anyway they are beautiful I am super happy they started to eat as soon as I introduced them to the tank!
