The lion will eat whatever it can fit in its mouth.

Yes, a 3 inch lion will eat a 1.5 inch clown.

I had clowns that were a little more than half the size of my lionfish and he still got the clown in his mouth.

And some lions have larger than normal mouths and can take suprising things. Didn't mention what kind of lion as if it grows the chances go up.
I have a fumanchu that happens to fortunately a baby and leave a few things alone it could probably scarf. (Pretty cowardly I think is part of it.) |

Lionfish can sometimes snack on fish even bigger than they are... it would definitely eat your clownfish.
