I have a Ocellaris that has it's mouth open 24/7. It eats well and seems to be healthy and happy but never closes it's mouth. Anyone else have this happen? Is it a cause for concern? None of the other fish in the tank have this problem so I doubt it is due to an illness. Thanks for the help!

It could be some kind of deformity. Has it been that way since you go the fish?
(I dont know much about clownfish, it could be a common thing for all i know)

We have had the fish for about a year. We noticed a few weeks ago that his mouth is always open. It was not like that when we get him.

Sorry about the loss. I lost two clownfish a month or so ago. Just do better the next time.
