I bought it as an Ocellaris, but I want to be sure.

Looks like a mono to me.

if the eye turns red at about 6-8" then its an occelli, if not then its a mono. I have one of each in my tank and thats how i tell the difference.

That is not always the best way to differentiate between the two.

I currently have 2x12" monos that have red eyes almost 24/7.

All cichla species will show red eye color when either feeding or if they are in an aggressive mood.
