Not green chromis?

I recently bought 3 new fish described as green chromis... they are the same colour but a more rounded shape and as soon as they are caught in a net they show black stripes vertically as stress bars! I have never seen a green chromis do that, so what are they?

I was looking at Green Chromis yesterday and noticed they would get dis-colored when I stared at them. The stress of an ugly guy looking at them. But yes, they can get discolored from stress.
