It's hard to tell from the pic if there is still tissue covering the skeleton or if it is just around the mouth. Can you take a better pic (less blue especially)?
 
Here are a few more shots. It looks like its getting better. I have done 3 15% water changes the last three days. Let me know what you think. Thanks

*Much* better! Although it looks bad, it looks like most mouths aren't gaping too badly. The flesh is tight, but it's still there. I would give it to a friend or a LFS you trust until you are able to correct the problem in your tank. I would do a water change or two, run carbon, and wet skim (if you have a skimmer.) You'll probably lose a few heads, but it should come back with the right care.
