Striped large-eye bream, Gnathodentex aureolineatus, is present in tropical and sub tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific area from the eastern coast of Africa to the Pacific Ocean's islands.This fish likes the proximity of reefs which slopes are external or not. it can be seen alone or in large to small compact group close by the reef.

This video was made in December 2022 during a short vacation I spent on Angaaga island; I must say that the weather was not what I wanted and therefore, not being able to do scuba diving with aqualung, I dedicated myself to snorkelling in the coral reef that surrounded the island. The small island of Angaga is located in the center of Alifu Dhaalu Atoll, in the southern part of Ari Atoll. This small island has been used exclusively as a tourist resort for those who intend to spend a holiday in the Maldives.
