How fast to foxfaces and/or swallowtail angels grow?

I have one of each in my 5x24x18 120. They're doing well now, but having seen much bigger ones in the store, I feel like they'll be too big for my tank eventually. I've seen the growth thread, so I know they may not get to the max advertised size, but I just don't like seeing a fish that looks like he couldn't find a place to hide in a tank. I wouldn't have got them in the first place, but in discussing possible fish for my tank, someone accused me of being the Caption of the Tang police, so I said "what the heck!" (I realize those aren't tangs, but same diff in terms of size).

Anyway, if I'm in a position to do so and the wife let's me, I may just get a bigger tank. But I'm trying to plan a timeline for that.
 
I can’t answer the specific question, but I can bump the thread to see if we can get you some help
 
I feel like the foxface grew about .2" in 4 months or so. He's almost as big as my clarkii clowns now. He started out significantly smaller.
