There are some good online resources that can you give better info that we can in this type of forum. You might also want to invest in a good fish guide. I'm sure someone can recommend one to you. I do most of my research online.

Lion will eat (if it can fit in it's mouth) the clown, firefish, bangai Cardinal, MAYBE the coral beauty if it's small and the lion grows fast enough.
Picasso Trigger will (If I remember correctly) nip the fins off the lion.
Ocellaris - probably the sweetest disposition of the clowns
Firefish - very shy, doesn't like agressive tank mates
Dwarf Zebra - Predator, suitable as only fish in a 30 gallon or less tank, nothing that fits in it's mouth can be kept as a companion.
Yellow Tangs - keep singly or in groups of 3 or more, always odd number (If I remember correctly that is, don't personally have any)
Trigger Fish - Typically not reef safe likes to nibble on sps, clams, stuff with shells.
Coral Beauty - very pretty fish, I think the opinion is out on whether is it reef safe or not, I believe for the most part yes? but some have personalities :)
Hawkfish - predator, as the name implies, eats small fish and ornamental shrimp
Bangai Cardinal - cool fish, endangered from overcollecting last I heard, likes pods and will decimate a population if you have it (much like the mandarin. Unlike the mandarin will accept prepared foods.)
check out wetwebmedia.com, has tons of info on all this stuff.

Someone - all those fish have been kept by people here. They are not compatible with one another and each has different diet and space needs. If you want a tank, read all kinds of books. Then you just gotta take the plunge and set one up and learn patience, the most difficult thing to learn about all this. There are many volumes on the net about each. Some of the information may even be correct about them, but that can't be determined without lots of research and then thinking about it.
