Unfortunately "black percula" as a common name is used on one of the other species of clownfish. So although it sounds descriptive, it's not the same fish at all (I forget which one, A. rubocinctus maybe or something like that ... ?? need to do a google search later ... it's not even in the percula complex. yet another example of why common names are completely absurd sometimes..).

If they still have 'em when I get back home I will have to go take a look and see for myself ... the price being low like that makes me wonder a little. But who knows maybe they are.

Supposedly the original black percs were only collected out of Darwin Australia or something like that. So reasonably common down under, but till now not really all that common over here.
