Anybody have a Pixy/Spotted Hawkfish?

I have been trying to decide if a hawkfish is OK for my tank. I have been looking at the Longnose Hawkfish, but they get up to 5". I was wondering if the Pixy/Spotted Hawkfish (Cirrhitichthys oxycephalus) would be better since it only gets 3"?

Are the Pixy Hawks actually aggresive as listed on Liveaquaria.com? Would I still be better going with the Longnose Hawkfish (Oxycirrhites typus) listed as semi-aggresive on Liveaquaria.com?

I currently have 2 - False Clowns, Coral Beauty, Yellow Tang, Male Lyretail Anthias, Longfin Fairy Wrasse, Two Spot Candy Hog, Royal Gramma, Pink Spotted Goby, 2 Skunk Cleaners, 30+ BL Hermits, 30+ Astrea Snails, 10+ Cerith Snails & 20+ Nasarius Snails.

Any opinions from experience would be helpful.

I have had one in my tank for about 6 months now with no problems at all.Mine is not aggresive at all but he goes a little haywire during feeding time,he is a bit of a glutton.Otherwise he lives in a 90G peacefully with 2 tangs,maroon clown,bicolor blenny,royal gramma,3 damsels,mandarin,bar goby,and a couple others i cant remember right now.I think they are a great,small fasinating fish.A great purchase IMO.
