Where did you pick it up? Online/LFS or has it been established with a local reefer for a while?
What size tank?
What lights? (( did you acclimate it to your lights? ))
What are your current water parameters -- with numbers.
How long has the tank been set up?
Has it ever buried its foot in the sand?
What are you feeding it?
Has anything changed recently ?
For the mouth to be open that much is not a good thing, and it does not open up that wide to expel waste.

What is your Salinity/SG?
Do you know how long the LFS had it?
The reason I ask is that it is somewhat common for S. haddonis to start doing this after shipping. If it starts to do this regularly I would be very concerned. I would get ready to do a water change tomorrow and run some fresh carbon.

my bracometer is no working as of right now but am planning on buying a new one tomorrow. i know for a fact that it was a new arrival when i bought it at the store, i was told it was kept for observation for 7 days. i does seem to be getting a bit better ( its not so scrunched up any more and the mouth is no small)
