Actually, it's usually best not to ask a LFS. They're there for money, not the welfare of fish.

I think it looks like a tang/angel, in some ways leaning towards angel, some ways not.

Agreed, a tang but not sure which kind

 

[Amphiprion]

An adult Acanthurus pyroferus--chocolate tang or yellow mimic tang as a juvenile.

The darn juvie colors on tangs and angelfish always throws me.

It is easy to be thrown by these fish--just look at these color morphs:
