Oscellaris or Perc?

Is this an oscellaris or a perc? Sorry the pics are not great, but my web cam or my phone cam are all I have to take photos with.

Sorry dude there's no way to tell from those pics.

One trick people have been using is to look at the eye, if the eye ring is clear or orange, the fish is percula; if the eye ring is "muddy" or dark then the fish is ocellaris (note the spelling btw- the only "s" is at the end )

I'm not certain if it's a 100% foolproof ID method, but that's what people claim to use with success. Good luck, hope this info helps.

True Percs have wider bands of black is another way to not know 100%, even counting fin spines isn't 100% one will have 11-13 and the other may have 12-14 on a fin. Price is always a good tell tale sign, a Perc will cost about 2-3 times the cost of an Occ, but that's assuming the pet store isn't trying to make more $$ off of you. True percs are pretty hard to come by.
