Hi there.
Since you've fed it, it might just be spitting out leftovers, it can make them appear to smirk strangely. They spend much energy moving around their stuff when eating, so waiting until it is settled before feeding it, helps it to not have too much stuff on its "mind" at once.
What kinda nem did you get?

Oh it's a mini/maxi you said, well, four days is not much for it to settle, it needs time to adjust its body-structure to all the new flows and impressions in your tank.
It might just be showing its mouth more than you expected it to, because it is both adjusting and dealing with food and such.
Try to observe without getting worried if your waters tests are all good, because they do need a few days before they "relax".
Think of it like a living time clock, it will want to look at where your tank has flow and light for a few days, then it knows how to place itself.
Hope it all works good for your new mini/maxi, nems are really wonderful creatures.

Hi again! Maxi mini is very hardy anemone. Give it some days to settle down. Do you have pictures?
