Even though it swallows its prey whole, a lionfish is just not that aggressive. Adding any of the fish you listed, with the exception of the eel and the ray, may endanger its life because they will want to nip at his fins. I have found that tangs, perhaps a squirrelfish, larger clowns, butterflies, anthias and other, less "nippy" fish usually work with lions. A note on the ray - it needs a large sandy bottom to thrive.
