I got two assorted Clowns today. You can read the details here.

My question is... how can I tell the difference between a Tomato and a Cinnamon?
 
Well after I got home today and spent some time looking... he looks like a tomato. So do I need to get rid of him in order to get a second Percula? (or can all three live happily)

Here is a pick:

The clownfish on the top is definitely not a false percula. It is a clownfish in the clarkii complex. In fact I would say that it is a clarkii clown. The bottom one is indeed a tomato clown. So, I wouldn't add another type of clown into the mix. I would pick one of those to keep or re-home them both so that you can get a pair of false perculas.
 
Top one is A. clarkii, and the bottom is A. frenatus, no percs. Choose one species to attemp a pairing.
