False Perc Behavior Question...Is this normal? *Pics*

I got 2 False percs about a week ago, naturally keeping a close eye on their appearance, just having introduced them into a new tank.

Question is today I noticed 1 with who has his mouth open all the time, and wonder if this is normal or cause for concern?

This is just his behavior starting today, before he would open and close his mouth 'normally' but since this morning his mouth almost looks as if he has something stuck in his mouth (though there appears to be no obstruction).

He is swimming in a small area (by my frogspawn) and the only other indication of something abnormal might be that he seems a little darker on the sides of his body than he has before. But my main concern is that I havent seen him close his mouth today!?

Only thing I have done different is add some additives yesterday in (Calcium, essential ellements, Strotium & Montebelium, and Tech M) However all my other fish seem to be behaving normally and all corals are ok.

Any insight is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

the inside of his mouth looks white in color, so maybe it's a fungal infection of some type or a parasite. sorry i can't be of more assistance.
