It is one thing to breed exotic variants of FW fish like guppies and angelfish which are dozens of generations separated from wild stock.

SW fish should not be monkeyed with.
This variant is a result of selective breeding in captivity, these aren't wild fish. This is exactly the same process that you referred to with FW guppies and Angels. It takes thousands of offspring to come up with these oddities, even if you breed two of these, you probably won't get this color variation as a result. Catching fish with cyanide or dying Anemones is screwing with nature.
