The fish behind it is a mimic Ancanthrus pyroferus or lemon peel angel? The front guy could be an Indian mimic A. tristis. But to me it really looks like a juvenile orange spot shoulder tang A. olivaceus, which grows up to be very aggressive like the lineatus. I take it the lfs didn't give you its scientific name, in which case you wouldn't be asking. Pretty fish. Good luck with it.
