Clown ID ?

[jgraz]

I picked this guy up today at my LFS. Sold to me as a true percula. Clearly the patterns are different. Actually the patterns are completely different on each side. Complete with broken bars. How would this be classified. I really liked the pattern and he was cheap. Here are the pics. Sorry these are from my phone and he would not stay still for a moment. Thanks in advance for the help.

TRUE PERCULA

· Typically orange in color with three white bars, with the middle bar having a forward-projecting bulge.
· Has 10 (rarely 9) dorsal spines.
· Usually has jet black margins of varied widths around its white bars, often of which can be rather thick.

FALSE PERCULA (Ocellaris)

· Typically orange in color with three white bars, with the middle bar having a forward-projecting bulge.
· Has 11 (rarely 10) dorsal spines.
· The spinous (anterior) part of the dorsal fin is taller.
· May have no black margins present, but most often has thin, never thick black margins around its white bars.

It definitely is a true perc. Just curious if it would have any classification beyond that. I'm leaning towards a simple misbar. It's tough to see in the pic but the back "bar" on the left side is basically 3 white dots connected only by the black outline around each.
