Anything it cant swallow, and Lion fish can swallow stuff 3/4 thier own size.

Maybe one of the smaller eels--something like a dragon eel that won't get to more than 12 inches. The problem is that any fish sized to fit in the tank may be a snack, and anything bigger will push the bio-load really high. With a high bio-load from just the lion, many inverts may have problems with the potential nitrates, and the mobile ones, like shrimp and crabs, may be a snack. You could probably have a chocolate chip star or 2 without problems, as well as a good variety of snails, limpets, and sponges.
