I have had both types and right now I have perculas 3 in total one in my kids tank is a miss barred one I like her best.

I have never seen a Percula with thin black striping like an Ocellaris. Color Pattern differences for sure a tell tale sign in many peoples opinion. My bad on spine count, I don't normally count spines, as you can tell visually.

Either way, the OP's is an Ocellaris, and a nice one at that.

Definitly both are nice fish and Ocellaris is a bit more hardy by the way and not as prone to ICK or Brooklynella for that matter. AI usly has some tank raised clowns they are also hardyer.
