Lionfish tankmates?

Hello, I have a 4 inch zebra lionfish in a 30 gallon tank and I am wanting some tankmates for him. I am for two colorful (cheap is good) damselfish that get along with featherduster and grow too large for a lionfish to eat. Any suggestions? If there are no fish for me, then what do you recommend to make the tank look fuller?

Damsels can really torment a lion; a couple of bigger chromis might work well; or a single maroon clown. IMO, ounce for ounce, those cute little damsels cause more trouble than any fish I've ever kept. Its no co-incidence that "how to get rid of damsels" is such a common thread on this forum.
