Your wish has came true , that is a real lightling maroon clown.
Good luck owning one tho, I was reading coral mag and one of the author had one in his personal tank, what I read is that , there's only like a handful of these guys in the world

There are actually more than you realize but they come out of Papua New Guinea, which has been nearly impossible thus far to export out of despite a lot of effort. They're also trying to captive breed them... But again in PNG. If they can get the export issues resolved you may start seeing some lightning hybrids a few years down the line.

Matt Pederson, a seasoned breeder, has the Lightning Maroon Clown. His blog on pairing and breeding attempts is a good read:
