Xanthichthys would be the only triggers that I would attempt with the lion, still risky imo.

I'd scratch the puffer off the list as well. Both will find the lions fins irresistible.

lionfish is still in the air, not really a big deal, would rather have the dog face puffer if its suitable for a 150, that was the trigger family i was wanting to hear, was hoping to get a sargassum trigger

Any trigger will be fine in your 150 if you buy it small and let it grow.

I had 3 triggers (clown, niger, and picasso) with a lionfish in my 150 with no issues at all.

Id go with a Niger Trigger, a large wrasse and a nice big grouper. All eat the same food, so daily or every other day feeding will be easy. A tang needs different food than the other fish you are considering and they graze all day long in the wild, so they should be fed small amounts, many times a day. For me, I cant devote that much time over the course of a day, many times a day.

Niger or Bluethroat
Miniatus or Blue Line
Harliquin Tusk or Lunare/Banana wrasse

Those would be my 3 big choices.

Good Luck! A 150g tank is a beautiful thing.
