Ok . This feels compleely pointless but I will give the bennefit of the doubt .
Every last one of those fish is not sutible for your tank .
The clown trigger will become so aggresive that it will kill the other fish . It will out grow that tank in a year . It belongs in a speices only tank .
The niger trigger will more than likely pick at the lion . It will out grow that tank in a year .
Pork puffer will pick at the lion .It too will out grow that tank in less than a year.
The lion fish will not physicaly cause harm to the other fish but it will out grow that tank in less than a year . It does not belong in a tank with triggers or puffers .

i have kept a clown trigger in a 55g before for close to a year or so with great success had him with a picasso trigger and a yellow tang
the clown trigger eventually grew a tad large and i sold him
the tang lived for a long time
picasso i kept cause he was a good size and not too big
do some research into aggressive fish and see what their max size is in captivity then make a decision
2-3 should be fine in a 55g ...also take into account the waste production they will put out AND when they feed they are messy so unless you have a very good skimmer don't bother i learned my lesson a while back and had nitrate problems eventually gave up for 2 years and now i got back into the hobby and have non-aggressive fish

If you want to have a lionfish, you can get a Fuzzy Dwarf or a Spotfin or Antenata Lion. These don't get as big and will be perfect for your 55. I have both of those lions together and they get along great. But the triggers will probably end up killing the lions, so you need to pick one or the other.

One suggestion with that stock list.
You can make your 55g a sump for your 180+ with that fish list.
