Sorry this may have been asked, but I could not find an answer by searching.
What is the difference between a true percula and a false percula? And how do you distinguish them.

True perc (A. percula) = 9-10 dorsal spines
Fals Perc (A. Ocellaris) = 11 dorsal spines

True perc = thick black bands around the 3 white bars
Fals perc = thin bands around the 3 white bars.

One other test:

True Perc = expensive
False Perc = cheap

IME Ocellaris (false perc) make terrific aquarium subjects. I haven't kept true percs but understand they are about the same.
