Care and observations

The Flesh-Rotting HLLE Curse: Queen Angels are incredibly prone to Head and Lateral Line Erosion if their diet lacks high-quality marine algae and real sponges. The flesh on their face will literally rot away, exposing the white skull underneath permanently. You must feed them high-end frozen sponge formulas and Nori seaweed daily.
