tomato clowns

Ok so I went to a fish store and I saw this huge tank with a tomato clown hosting a rose bubble tip anenome. There were ocellerous clownfish but it didn’t attack any of them it just stayed in the anenome. Should I get the tomato clownfish in my 90 gallon tank with a ocellerous clown?

No the ocellerous is not hosting it and yes i do have a rose bubble tip

You describe the Tomato as large so it is likely a female. How old is the ocellaris? Any idea if it has transitioned into a female? If it is still a juvenile then it is a reasonable risk, however if you have two females the risk of incompatibility increases dramatically.

They may. There is always a risk. I have found the tomatoes to be a bit more aggressive, particularly defending their territory. They might be fine together for months or even years and then, one day...
