    I bet that's what it is then. Unless he starts showing signs of fungus, or greater distress, I would just assume it's from locking mouths.



    Here's a little excerpt from wetwebmedia:

    The problem I have witnessed now is that the two orange & white Ocellaris have begun bullying each other. They lock lips and jerk their heads from side to side.

    Called my LFS and spoke to one of the salesmen. He said it was lockjaw and there is nothing i could do to help. Also to let them know when she dies and they will replace her. He was very helpful just not the answer I was looking for.
