LFS just sold me these fish and am curious to what they are.

Maybe a tri-color damsel. They also kinda look like some sort of angel too hmmm? What did the LFS call them?
 
I took a look through literature available to me at work, and can't come up with a confident identification for the damselfish in the first photo. It could be a speckled damsel (Pomacentrus bankanensis), as ffmd212 suggested, but it should be showing some remnant of the blue lines on the head and snout. However, these may be visible on the fish (rather than the photo). I'm pretty confident of the identifcation of the other photo as Neoglyphidodon nigroris. One thing, though, the common name given on Fishbase (black-and-gold chromis) is a little confusing, as it's not really a Chromis. A better name is Behn's damsel.
