Hi There. I Was Just Wondering If A Volitans Lionfish And A Humu Trigger Would Do Fine In A 120 Gallon Tank Together. And If Those Two Do Okay. Would It Be Okay To Add A Passer Angelfish (aka King Angelfish.)

It all depends on the personality of your humu. A lot of people on the board have had the experience that with age their humu's get more aggressive and wil nip at lionfish and just about anything else in the tank.
That being said, I've got a humu with a lion in my 180, and they get along fine. They were put into the tank at the same time when the humu was about 3" and the lion was pretty small, maybe 2-3". Now the humu is about 5" long and the lion must be 7-8" and they're doing great.

I had a Volitans and a Humu together in my tank. They were put in at the same time when the lion was around 3 inches and the humu about an inch and a half. Everything was great for about a year and a half. The lion grew to about 8-9 inches and the humu was around 3 inches. Then one day the humu snapped and tore apart the lion. It chewed off its tail, pecotral fins and most of the dorsal spines. Sadly, I the lion didnt make it, so I would say NO, they dont work out well together. Everythign may be fine for a while but at some point the humu will decide "Hey, I can take this guy"

I agree with DragonZim. I would not attempt it.
And I definitely would not add a passer. They get huge and are one of the nastiest fish.
