Coral Beauty source location?

Hi everyone, for those of you who keep Coral Beauties and other Indo-Pacific dwarf angels, have you found a difference in hardiness between different source locations? Where I am (China) it’s not possible to source Captive Bred specimens from Biota, ORA etc. so I’m stuck with wild caught ones, usually Philippines or Indonesia. Since the fish from these parts of the world often have dismal survival rates, should I forego a Coral Beauty (or maybe a Rusty) altogether and get a non-Indo Pacific species like a Flameback?

I was on a Taiwanese forum and some Taiwanese hobbyists said that their experiences with Indo-Pacific dwarf angels has been that of eating well and starting out healthy but mysteriously dying after a couple months. Is it really that bad? I don’t know their tank sizes or tank conditions.
