Mixing clown species in a tank is generally a very bad idea.

Tomato clowns like to eat. Feed your food in a net for a while. This is how I caught mine. A small 22 size barbless fishing hook may also work.

Hey Aero, in my oppinion, tomato clowns are the most pain-in-the-fin clown in dealing with other fish. Mixing any clowns in a 90 g may create problems. Often a tomato will kill or extremely harrass a non-clown fish even, as they are the king of the tank. Having it in a tank with percs gives that exact problem. If you can't get it out, then you may want to put up a temp devider of some sort

, till you figure out how to get the fish out?

The way I catch a tomato clown is the corner method. It works pretty well with all the more aggressive clowns.. keep it cornered in a open area and scoop it up (while trying to keep it calm, use stealth) as they can pick up speed fast.

Feel free to email me if I can help anymore. Best wishes, I'll keep my fingers crossed.
