hmmm i didnt experience having problems with gaping mouth.when i first got my mini red carpet this is what it looks like from the bag
then after i put it in the tank
and current pic grown a bit about 2-2.5 inches now
then my blue carpet from the bag
then after i put it in the tank
notice mouth is really tight
then when i woke up next day with this had to move a bunch of corals away from it
and heres current pic
hope yours will do good...i can see that its probably just stressed from shipping

My guess...when you weren't around that big clown beat that nem up. That would at least be my hope. The other outcome is far worse bc it would mean that nem is unhealthy. Keep an eye on the deflation of the nem...if it seems to be getting worse there isn't much you can do. Check your parameters and make sure there aren't any major changes going on you are unaware of...good luck!
While im not always there to check the tank/anemone, i highly doubt the clown was bothering it. She just totally seems to ingnore it. Although i do not doubt it is completyely impossible i just find it unlikely.
As far as deflation and paramters, everything seems stable to this point. Also how rare is it for a melanistic occelaris clown to host a haddoni?
Here is another pic, a FTS from the side, you can see the carpet towards the right side.

Hit or miss on the clown...theres even a chance the haddoni would eat the clown if healthy enough. If clown is paying no mind to the nem, then the haddoni is likely unhealthy. What did it look like in the LFS? Same as in your tank would indicate unhealthy specimen. If it looked good in the LFS and is worse in your tank it is likely something in your water parameters. Where did it come from/?

Deflate and inflate daily is definitely not a good sign. Wish you the best of luck

That isn't normal at all (( excluding getting slightly smaller when the lights are off )).
Is the insides staying inside the mouth?
This is a tell tale sign that it is gone,
For reference, it looked like this 24 hours prior --- this was a new haddoni.
36 hours prior
