True or False Percula Clowns?

I'm planning to buy two clownfish as my starters. A LFS has them on sale but it's labelled 'percula clownfish'. I dont know if it's true or false. Does this matter?

Also What is the proper way to accimalate these fish before dumping them into the DT?

Thanks

It doesn't matter with regard to keeping them but they are different clowns. Google image them to see the difference. The most common distinguishing difference is that true percs have a thicker black outline of markings. False percs are more commonly called ocellaris
