What kind/ size of clown can be add?

I have a large tomato clown that has been by himself for over a year. What kind of clown can I add for him as a friend that he won’t fight with or can I add 2 other types of clowns to the tank? 125 mixed reef with lots of LR

The only other clownfish I would risk adding is a small juvenile tomato clown. They may pair up. Your original clownfish is a dominant female by now and they're very territorial. Tomato clowns are also notorious for being aggressive to begin with.

No, I agree that only a small tomato clown would be an option. Adding a different species would probably result in fighting. Yours is definitely a female by now, so a small male, introduced in the proper way (barrier where the female could see the new, small male and the two observed until aggression abates) is the best way to go.
