Lyretail compatible with a Volitan Lion?

[choosymother]

I have a Lyretail wrasse and would like to add a small Volitan to the tank, but I am worried about the compatiblily. The wrasse is 3 inches long and pretty docile, but I realize it will get more terretorial as it grows. 125G - 4 other fish which are too big for the Lion to eat. Any thoughts?

A lionfish will eat any fish it can fit into its mouth. If it catches the lyretail, it will eat it. If the lyretail is too scared to come out, it will starve to death.

Wrasse will be ok until it fits on the dinner table, or in the Lion's mouth, which won't take long-IME.
