I wouldn't do it. Tomatoes are among the most aggressive. I have a small sebae in with a percula and they work well and are similar in size. As a general rule , clowns can be very aggressive and species don't mix well.

the perculas and false perculas do fine together, tomatoes have a tendency to get terretorial and a little aggressive.

i have a 75 and 2 pink skunks and 1 perc he needs a friend the pink skunks are not nice to him i think you would have major issues in a 25 i will probably try a friend with him and if there is to much agression i will trade in one pair of clowns

I placed a mated pair of false perculas and a tomato clown in a 75 gallon at the same time, thinking that they would have plenty of room and define their own territories on seperate ends of the tank. Plus, I thought the whole 2 against 1 matchup would be a deterrent to any tomato aggression. It didn't happen. What did happen was a battle royale of clown fighting which the tomato was winning. When all was done, the tomato was scooped out and placed in solitary confinement in a 12gal eclipse tank, while the mated pair stayed in the 75gal. the moral of the story; never mix tomato clowns with less aggressive clowns. They are bullies.
