Would it be morally right for us to be attracted to them? To like them, to want to be with them, to love them, etc.? If they aren't human at all, yes it would be wrong to be attracted to them But they're persons. Other that the fact that they are a completely different species, they would practically be indistinguishable from us (mentally, at least). Physical attraction isn't all there is to these relationships, they might have other (more psychological) traits that might influence attraction, like how they act, how they think, if they're smart, funny, kind, etc. People don't always get into a relationship just because of their looks.
