| My clownfish has his mouth stuck open, is this lockjaw? what can I do? the area around his mouth is faded a little and it almost looks furry inside.

| Can you post a pic? Can you tell us more about your set up - water parameters, how long the tank has been set up, how long you have had the clown, what other fish are in this tank, when was the last time you added anything to the tank...... What are you feeding the clown? When did it last eat? How long has the clown's mouth been stuck open?

| I have been having a hard time getting a decent picture but I will try again today. The tank has been up for about a year and a half, most of that time this clown and another Ocellaris have been in the tank. There is also a royal gramma, a large brittle star, coral banded shrimp, stails, corals, hermits, etc... The latest thing I added were two small emerald crabs about a month ago (they disapeared in one day, I suspect the brittle star). The mouth has been stuck open for about 5 days now.

| Thanks for posting/sharing. Unfortunately I can appreciate that the mouth is open but I can not tell much else. Can you post your video using photobucket or provide a link? Is the clown eating??
