My clown fish mouth is stuck open

[Bruno]

Both of my clowns mouths have been wide open for 2 days now all of my other fish are fine. I did a little research on line and found a few different causes. Anyone ever experience this??? (SORRY FOR THE OUT OF FOCUS PICS)

Did he step on a rusty nail? Lock jaw perhaps? JK I couldnt resist. What did it say online? Is it some kind of sickness? I have never seen, or heard of it before.

It will go away in a while,Bruno.
It probably nipped something it shouldn't have.My male false perc was like that and got over it.

It said that they can resist anemone stings on the outside of there body but not in there mouths

I bet he nipped a bristleworm or something.

My clown had that and got over it. Your water quality is probably way better than mine.... so I would think it will recover.

EDIT: Both clowns have it? Hmmmmmmm....... I don't know....

I think it's from trying to take down those tentacles
