Fish Guide: Zalera description error

I agree that poison is correct, yes.

On our real life planet at least the angelfish is seemingly only poisonous in the Queen Angelfish, and this toxin is not a venom, but a poison.

'They are not typically a food fish, in part because they are associated with the phenomenon of ciguatera poisoning which is caused by fish eating other toxic creatures and keeping a reservoir of toxins which may be passed on to human consumers.' - https://www.thoughtco.com/queen-angelfish-4693630

Taking the famous Fugu fish, which are also poisonous, the toxin is tetrodotoxin, which is a result of the fish eating bacteria like Pseudoalteromonas.

On Eorzea's star Angel fish might have developed a venom, but this would be injected through spikes not eaten. We can safely eat a scorpion or a snake's venom glands without danger, as long as our mouth doesn't have a cut the venom can enter through.
