Frogspawn mouth open?

Hey guys,

This is a new frogspawn I got from a local reefer. I acclimated it to the tank and added it. It puffed up pretty quickly but when I went to take a couple pictures I noticed that the mouth (?) was open. Anything I should be worried about?

Pictures. First two without flash and last with flash:

It looks unhealthy to me, was that head already showing some skeleton when you got it or was it already like that? The heads in the background seem completely dead, were those recent from the other reefer or they've been like that for some time? Sometimes mine open their mouths, but it is only when I feed them. If they start to slime up in a brown slime then you're losing them.
 
They came like that. Guy said he had just fragged his large colony into several smaller pieces and a couple heads died. Which is why, I'm assuming, there are four dead heads. There are two larger heads, seen in the picture, and two tiny heads on the frag.

I only just got the frag yesterday so that's how I got it. I'll see if I can get a picture of them today. The mouths seem to have closed and they are open more than they were yesterday.
