Lyretail chromis?

My LFS had these labeled as a "lyretail chromis" but I can't find any information about them on the internet. As you can see in the picture, they're almost all dark grey with a yellow spot on their caudal fin with black tips. Does anybody recognize it? They are pretty hyperactive but they seem to be peaceful so far.

Luca Brasi is right, it could also be a yellowtail. I believe that Neopomacentrus Azysron is characterized by a solid yellow tail most of the time while Neopomacentrus Cyanomos usually has those black highlights at the tail's tips. However, Neopomacentrus Cyanomos can also have a varying degree of color in its tail region (I have seen ones with white, yellow, and even orange coloration). I can't say for sure since both species are very similar in coloration but it is almost certainly one of the two.
