⚡ What its two abilities do

Photobacterium Eclipse: every 8 minutes 20 seconds at base weight, it bites a fruit with a 7% chance to apply Eclipsed (×20).

Photobacterium Aurora: every 16 minutes 40 seconds, it bites a fruit with a 5% chance to apply Aurora (×90).

The Aurora roll is rarer and slower, but at ×90 it is worth more than four Eclipsed procs. Both are single-fruit bites, so the Anglerfish adds value slowly and steadily.
