if you kill the weakest couple seedlings in the most crowded pot you can also top dress the pot putting more soil around the seedling's stems gently and that will increase the health of the remaining plants. tomatoes can root along their stems making them particularly easy to transplant or clone. they desire even and constant water, not too much or too little. wicking from the bottom with a dish is often the best way to water, but dont allow the soil to sit in excess water as that will quickly rot and start to destroy the plant's roots. terra cotta is easy to keep from rotting the soil and harder to keep it constantly moist so i bet a dish of water under them would help immensely.
