I think it is sad what we humans do because of one simple thing that was invented thousands of years ago......Money.
Yep, where there is a dollar to be made you can bet your bluegrass humans will find a way to mess with things, call it something fancy and put a exorbitant price tag on it.
Hmm designer clowns, bit like diamonds really, common, as clowns breed like flies, but with clever marketing and demand there's money in it.
Mis-bar Angels etc while rare could be seen as a genetic defect but again there is money in it.
I am not going to be a conscientious objector, seeing as though this sort of thing has been prolific in the pet trade for however long now, Bobble eyes, Betta's etc, Poodledoodle blahblahblah, even commonly accepted breeds of cats and dogs are subject to selective breeding processes and is also common place in our world today across the food industry.
But the common denominator across all these boils down to money.
Having captive bred fish, well of course their behaviors are going to differ from wild caught, then ask yourself whether you are happy having the trade take from the wild for your pleasure.
Reef systems are a "renewable resource" as is the case with nearly all mother natures abundance, but unfortunately just not seen as such owing to the number of humans placing demand from that resource and of course again the money factor.
Bottom line, Humans are bloody lazy and wont do anything to preserve our world unless there's a dollar in it.
My 2c, aplogies for my Aspiness and extrapolation of a yes and no answer.
