they are messy eaters and will eat anything they can fit in their mouth which is big,your clown could be dinner!!

Would the smaller dwarf lion fish be as agressive to the other tank mates .....?

A 20 gal. tank is too small for a Lion Fish, even the dwarfs need a 50 gal. or larger. I also agree with David, they will eat anything that will fit into their mouths, they are predators after all. Here's a little info on them: Dwarf/Zebra Lionfish

Guess you mean this... Sulphur Goby Cryptocentrus cinctus Size 1 - 2

Better known as a yellow watchman goby.

Too small of a tank and they are predators.

I would suggest to get something else!
