Can you ID these fish?

[chuckthestick]

Can anybody tell me what these fish are, and if there's anything I should know about keeping them? They were mislabeled at the pet store I went to, and I'm trying to figure out what they are.
Thank you.

The green chromis are peaceful damsils and a great addition to the reef tank. If you have several they will school together. The other can be very aggressive. Depending on the type of tank you have, you might want to think twice about the yellow tailed damsil.

I have 2 small yellow tail damsels and they look about the same size as yours. They are no problem in my 55 gallon tank but all the other fish are 2-5 times larger than them. I have a lawnmower blenny, 2 false perculas, flame angel, blue tang (i know he should be in a larger tank, but i took him off someones hands that couldnt keep him) pseudochromis, and i think that is it.
BUT as they grow they might be a problem. I also had a larger all blue damsel that killed another damsel and had to be isolated. They yellows do nt seem agressive though, so far

I have a solo yellowtail damsel and she is the shy one in the tank. It just all depends. On what exactly, IDK.

The Yellowtail is normally not as aggressive as a Blue Devil.....

I have a Blue Devil Damsel (not a Yellow Tail Damsel), and ya they are pretty aggressive little buggers. Mine is a female, but doesnt get too fresh cuz I have a big Flame Angel that keeps her in line lol.

They started goin' after my shrimp and hermit crabs, so I brought them back to the store.
