Maldives is actually a reputable collection location. I haven't heard any reports of poor practices being used to collect there.
However, just based on the fact these are Anthias, collection shouldn't be an issue no matter where they are collected. Simply because of the way Anthias shoal and congregate together, they are easily caught with nets, and I have never heard of Anthias being juiced.
That said, even though they are Lyretais, their still anthias. Some adapt, some don't. Some are touchy, some you can throw against a wall and they'll live for 5 more years. Its luck of the draw. How often did you feed them?
