Clown fish mouth open

Seen old threads on this but nothing recent.
Over last couple of weeks our clown has changed, at feeding time she would dart around and eat loads. Lately its almost like she's blind?? She would always come to the top of the tank at feed time but its like she doesn't even realise now. She just seems to float around in xenia all day now.
Her mouth is stuck open (not really wide but stil). There is no swelling of her lips, no white spots, no popeye, just her mouth ajar!
We dont have frog spawn or anything really exotic. Its s nano tank with one other clown and the xenia is the main coral. Most of our other frags have died off over time.
Regularly check water parameters and their all ok.
Luckily as there is only the 2 fish she stands more chance of getting food and otherwise looks as healthy as normal. We can normally put the artemia directly in xenia and it almost looks like she inhales it??
Any solutions please?
Thanks!
