Mine has never harassed any fish.....even when fish block his way out of his cave, he waits patiently for them to move, so I don't see any problems with any fish you listed.
I had a few softies in my tank....he never got near them....
My Stars-n-Stripes puffer liked 'em though.... :thinking:

He means with each other. It's probably not a good idea to house a trigger and a lion together. Correct me if i'm worng.

I was under the impression of that also. However, from reading opinions on here I understood that if you get a docile trigger (I know they are not ) like a niger or blue jaw, then it should work. I am looking at a niger and a dwarf lion in a 72" long aquarium.

Just because people call them "reef safe" doesnt also include that they're docile with other fish.
People say you cant keep the more aggressive Triggers (Queens, Clowns, etc) with Lions but I've done it. It's a risk you gotta be willing to take, but I made it work for a number of years.
With my 15" Volitan, I'd kept Queens, Clowns, Durgeons, Blue Throats, and a Humu.
Snowflakes are supposed to be "docile", but I've seen Snowflakes that would attack and kill any fish that was newly added to the tank, no matter what it was. Then, on the other hand, I hand feed my Hawaiian Dragon Moray and Whitemouth Moray...both of which are supposed to be highly aggressive.
