If it's wild caught, I'd trust the eyes. Assuming that it's not a wild caught hybrid...Try to count the dorsal spines. They're different depending on species.

100% Ocealaris to my eyes..I know this is a common question but how do I tell the difference? It has thin black bars like an ocellaris but eyes like a percula. It is wild caught.
This is my pair of wild caught Perculas

Im gonna say its an ocellaris. I have a young ocellaris pair and my female looks just like this. Slightly yellow with thin stripes. Plus, the captive bred ones tend to be slightly yellowerI know this is a common question but how do I tell the difference? It has thin black bars like an ocellaris but eyes like a percula.
