Clown Tang has a issue....

[lancepender]

I have a Clown Tang that seems to have some sort of lock jaw or something.. His mouth is open all the time and seems not to be able to close is mouth..

Anyone else have seen or heard of this???? He's been like this for about a day or so, and he isn't eating.

Well, he died... But, I would still like to know if anyone has info on the symptoms that my tang had...

I saw one at LFS that had this problem.

Did they say what it is??? What makes that happen??

I didn't ask. It seemed like a mouth injury, possibly from shipping? I just went back and was surprised they had sold the fish.
