Thoughts on Hybrids: The Blood Orange Clownfish?

I came across a pair of Blood Orange Clownfish and was immediately captivated by their bold personalities (Maroon side), and their unique color, in particular the black outline of their white stripes (Ocellaris side). What are your thoughts on these hybrids? Are hybrids generally frowned upon in the community? They didn't seem to suffer from the deformities other clownfish morphs are prone to have.

If anyone has pictures of their own Blood Orange Clownfish, I would love to see them (or you may see pics from me if I decide to get them).
 
Well they were on the back of my mind all day, so I decided to pick them up!

We all know how tough clowns are to catch with cell phones, so apologies. Here's a link to a quick video of them so you can see how they got that Ocellaris swimming motion down.

as a species purist myself, i have always found their rich orange color and shape strangely desirable.

you made a good choice!
