If this is normal behavior for lions, maybe they didn't have the room to "spread out" and rest upsidown in the old tank? And now feel more comfortable in the larger space to behave in such a way?
Just a thought, I don't really know much about lions.

There is no treatment for ich in a reef tank besides a cleaner wrass or cleaner shrimp.Besides that your only choice is a quaratine tank with copper safe.

you forget about the easiest method of all SK. if you take out the fish and QT them (no meds or anything special) and leave the display fishless for a month or two, the ich parasites have nothing to host and will die off. It interrupts the life cycle of ich quite eeffectively.

I wasn't trying to suggest that garlic is a great treatment for ich! I just know that many people believe it helps with the general overall health of a fish, and therefore helps the fish to rid itself of the parasite more quickly. But yeah, the only sure way of ridding your system of ich is to let it go fallow (as justinl said above).
And of course any copper-based medications wouldn't be reef safe.

Cleaner wrasse'e and cleaner shrimps are not cure's for ich.
(not to mention the lions would eat both) They may help treat the issue but will not cure it. There is two scientificly proven treatments to kill ich. Both require qt'ing the fish and leaveing the tank fishless for 6 to 8 weeks. Your choices are hypo-salinity or copper based meds.

I got "NO-ICH" from my LFS and am trying that..... so the lions are looking healthy and still hungry... i have just kept my blue led strips on so as not to stress them out any and the other EEL's in the tank are doing good.... even though my snowflake tried to escape from crawling down my sump intake over the weekend.....
