Feeling you on the tomatoes. Mine are ok with other fish for the most part (so far), my real issue with them is they HATE when I move things around. Their RBTA split and both halves started wandering the tank, hence I started moving my coral to different areas... THEY ARE DRIVING ME NUTS! The do NOT like anywhere I put my coral and proceed to knock it down to the sand wherever/whatever I move. I sit and guard my moves for a while, but they're pretty smart too.. they wait until I leave and then knock them over. I've even tried moving corals when they're sleeping. My Blue Devil Damsels are almost as bad, probably just not strong enough to move things like the tomatoes do.
I see why having an RBTA/tomatoes is challenging at best, but they have so much character, I can't bear to get rid of them. It's funny too, it's not as bad with new/other fish. They accept new fish fairly quickly, but mess with their surroundings and they get grumpy!
