Will My clowns ever spawn?

I have had my cinnamon clown ( I think thats what they are) almost a year now. Not sure if they are a mated pair or not. When I had my nem they both went in it. They are in a 30 right now with a scooter blenny, royal gramma, and a YWG. They seem happy enough but no signs of eggs. I have seen the male do the little shake and the female chases it around a little bit.
 
IME, a female clown has to be full size before she will spawn. In tomato clowns that would be close to 4".
 
She is close to that. It has grown alot since I got them a year ago. Themale hasnt really changed size though. I think the female is actually a tomato and the male is a cinnamon. He is alot lighter in color around the edges and she is just dark orange and about black in the middle. I can try and get a pic if that will help.
 
Unless your male has black pelvic fins, it is likely a tomato. Females get darker as they mature.
