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:
