Is it possible to tell the sex of a tomato clown fish?

In a pair, The one that is bigger and acts dominate is the female.

Not at first. You need to get them small and young. They are unsexed and whene paired up will decide which sex to be. I have a pair and the male is half the size and been that way for years. They also have laid about 4 differant batches of eggs but no hatching that i know of.
They will also host all my coral . They took a large hole in display rock as a home .

The female is like said always bigger. The pair i have of true percula clowns, the female has to be at least two and a half times bigger than the male. Would probably be the same case with the tomato clowns and any other clown.
