    That is normal, I would not worry about it unless it fades or you see skeleton. The mouths opening is to exchange water.

    I just keep at it with mine. Sometimes I make sure a piece of food is sitting where a mouth can get to it. Its tentacles usually come out pretty quick after that & it eats the food.
