What ring around the eye I have two of what I am sure are A. percula. They have black around the pupils. pupils. I have two A.ocellaris. They have black rings around their pupils. At least in the human eye it would be called the white of the eye. IOW my percs have clear whites, and the Ocellaris have black whites. Anyone who has stayed with me this far, does that make any sense.

BTW these are all wild caught, and the Perculas have the characteristic black banding.
