This morning when I checked on my tank my male nemo seem to have his mouth wide open and didnt close it once. I thought he was just being will but even till now its still not closed. That can't be normal been over 12 hrs. I fed them to see if he will close it to eat but he seems like he wants to eat n chase the food then does nth. I looked into his mouth n his throat looks like its swollen and not that big but mouth is fully open like locked jaw. How I fix him?

Do you have a 'nem in your system that could have burnt/stung his mouth ? Or another coral that could do the same ? Or a shrimp/crab ?

Go google "Lock Jaw"
There is a few different causes sorry man I don't know if there is very many successful cases of recovery? |

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds. |

Sometimes if they fight they will lock jaw mouth to mouth. Is it possible that they had a fight?
