he wasn't talking about a grouper..
he was talking about a saddleback clownfish..
and no, don't do it.
tomatoes are one of the more aggressive species, second to maroons..
the saddleback won't stand a chance. >_>

I agree with all of the above, tomato, cinnamon, and maroon clowns are among the most territorial fish in the hobby--but sure don't look it!

I know this is going against the stream, but I actually had a tomato clown and a perc clown together in a 29 gallon for over 10 years. I got them both long before I'd ever heard anything about not mixing clowns. I'm not saying you should do it, but very little is 100 percent for sure in this hobby.

Great post! I think your last phrase, "but very little is 100 percent for sure in this hobby."; should become the motto of this entire forum. Thanks!
