Another ID Problem

[Ovuel]

The long and the short of it is this:

As I was walking through my LFS to get some base rock I saw this guy nesstled up inside a Sebae. The label said Cinnamon Clown. 2 hours later he was being released into my aquarium.

I was walking through previously mentioned LFS today and they had another fish that looked exactly like mine but about 3-4 months older. Ironically enough it didn't have a label so I asked and they said it was a Fiji Tomato. Now I am very suspicious as to the actual kind of clown I have. Is it possible to make a distinguishing ID at this age?

If this am a Tomato I am a little disappointed, but it is something I can live with since it was on my list of ones I liked. I have been reading that Tomato Clowns are captured in 2 different parts of the world. I haven't seen whether or not these color differences, presumably caused by different climates would also cause them to be considers a different species of Tomato.

The reason I ask is because I do plan to have a mated pair, but haven't decided if I want two of the very bright Tomatos or want to try to get one that is a little darker. I know now that pairing this little guy is going to be harder the longer I wait, so I want to get him a her as soon as possible.

Thanks,

Cute little bugger. Yes, especially with the tomato clowns, it is easier to pair them now, because they can get vicious, or set in their ways, which will make an addition difficult.
