I believe lion fish are reef safe,but not small fish safe

Not to be a poopy pants but why would you want to see your fish harmed for doing what comes naturally? It's not the damsels fault you put other inhabitants in its perceived territory.
Adding another aggressive fish won't "teach it a lesson" and will only result in injury or death to one or both of them. You can't "unlearn" instincts.

I had a blue devil damsel once and he began to bite me when I put my hands in the tank to clean. after a year of taking beatings from the fish I placed it in my leopard eel tank. The blue devil damsel beat on the small eel for about six months, smacking the eel in the face with his tail. It all ended one day when I turned on the lights to the tank and found just the head of my blue devil damsel

That was a whoops.

It sounds like its time to give your aggressive damsel a new home. To someone with a larger tank perhaps.

Good luck
