I agree with all of Shibby's points except that damsels are sweet. The lionfish will probably - especially if 'Peacock lionfish' refers to any of the larger species Pterois miles, P. volitans, or P. lunulata - eat any small fish or shrimp. The eel is generally safe with fish (people sometimes keep them with seahorses) but almost definitely will eat true crabs and non-symbiotic shrimp.

I would let the horned starfish be, since the knobby ones are stereotypically voracious omnivores that will consume anything that they happen to be on top of, this includes cnidarians, echinoderms, molluscs, macroalgae and even sleeping fish.

Pretty much agree with the above comments

except - don't get the common clowns - your tomatoe clowns will kill them
