Hey guys a friend of mine wants me to sell this pair of clowns for him but I'm not too sure what kind they are. Are they regular percula? ocellaris (maybe?)? onyx perc?
I'm sure its an easy answer but I'm still new to this hobby lol sorry if I sound stupid.

Thanks in advance.

They are Yellow Tangs.

J/k....do they get along? The bigger one looks like a regular percula and the smaller one is hard to tell. If they get along, probably a onyx perc, if they don't, could be an ocellaris blacky. Since they seem fine in the photos, probably an onyx perc. See if you can get a closer shot of his eyes.

I cant get a good shot of the eyes but the little one has eyes that are completely black even to the edge while the bigger has just a black dot with orange edge.

eyes has nothing to do with species or color... to really find out you count the spines on it's dorsal fin... ocellaris have 10-11 dorsal spines, and percular have 9... unless they are cross bred and weakened like most designer clowns now and days...

looks like a true perc male and a black oce drone to me...
