    They've been in there for a couple of weeks together and at first the one with the open mouth was a little territorial but now they are getting along fine and share both anenomes.

    Definitely not normal...I think that would affect him being able to eat.

    Yes we just tried to feed him to see and he's spitting the food out.

    Way too much way too soon. May not be the exact problem but is still a huge problem. Not saying it's your fault, I don't know who you were getting advice from (LFS probably). Hope everything works out

    Did it have the open mouth since you bought him? Not something the fish store will take back then? Sometimes there's really nothing you can do about these things. Maybe someone else on 3reef here has seen this before and can help you further, good luck.

    Well, keep us updated if anything changes. Not much more I can say or do. If he doesn't eat, he will eventually die. Sorry.
