Is this True or False Cown

I got a bunch of small clownfish recently at about US$1 each.
Some look to me like the Percula (true) clown and others like
the ocellaris (false) clowns.

I attached one which seem to be True clown.

Any advise !

That sir, I believe is an Ocellarious Clown....other wise known as a "False Percula" clown. And in my opinion a more attractive fish!

Looks nice and healthy!

True percula clowns have larger bands of black. That is about te only difference I have seen.

The black band is the key to telling them apart.
