Tomato sleeping around

Yesterday I put a rather large Sebea Anemone/Tomato clown into my recently established 110g. They have been together in another persons tank for several years. The tank already has 2 large RBTs established in it. Well, the clown now thinks ALL are hers (she's about medium size). There is one lone Ocellaris that hasn't hosted yet, and now I'm afraid the Tomato will keep any other clowns from hosting any of the nems. I'm not opposed to removing one or both to get the results I want, which is to have several clowns hosting several nems. The nems are on different rock islands which are about 18" apart. Thought each species could have there own territory, but not with Tomato bi.ch sleeping with every nem in site. I've read where you may be able to keep a couple of different species of clowns in the same tank if they were tank raised, but have not seen this in person. Any suggestions?

Here is a pic of the tank before the Sebae/Tomato, which is now on the left island.

I would expect that the Tomato will evict and/or kill the percula. I don't know what direction you would prefer to go in terms of fish species but I would remove one or the other if I were you. I would also slow down on anemone additions until the system is better established. I understand that the recent addition was in captivity for some time but that is not the factor that I think is most detrimental to it. It's the fluctuations that new systems tend to go through... both measurable and immeasurable.
