IMO yes, lions are messy fish and having one will effect the water quality enough that the mantis won't do well.
I also would strongly recommend slowing down, a newly cycled tank isn't ready for a mantis. They are sensitive and need stability that's just not there in a new tank, especially with a first time sw aquarist.
