I have a faint memory of this from many years ago too! LOL! Problem is the little fish is a wuss and darts behind the rocks when I come up to the tank. Might be hard to get a dorsal ray count... Google tells me that Percula has 10 dorsal rays (rarely 9), and Oscellaris has 11 (rarely 10). So...apparently it's not a 100% deciding factor. But, it says for Oscellaris that they have thin black bars or none at all.
I think my guy's a Perc after all.
Thanks for replies everyone!
