The open mouth isn't good..... What lighting do you have? Did you recently add it? Is it pooping?

What lights do you have? Size tank? Water parameters? How old is the tank?

I probably would have acclimated longer especially if mouth was already open before he went in tank.

A gbta not an expensive purchase? Man, I'm movin to erie... Check on him again in an hour. I was very worried about my carpet yesterday, mouth was open the size of a quarter and spewing out a white cloud. An hour later mouth was closed and today he is back fully extended like nothing ever happened. Nems are odd critters.

Everyone gets ripped off at least once in this hobby. With good parameters its possible he will come around, if not lesson learned. I find nems to be one of the most sensitive creatures in our tanks, more so than SPS really.
Look for healthy specimens at the fish store. Im always looking for signs of stress, parasites, disease etc. And doing this you will save some money.

I agree and always do ..Ive only ever looked up care a.d what was needed to sustain a healthy nem. One thing i learned mouth open equals no good. I never cared to have one my clowns host a ceramic teapot .. just thought he was good size with nice color... apparently i was wrong.

I actually think its kinda cool they host a teapot lol, but if this nem doesn't make it try again. Maybe go with a different fish store. But before you do make sure your water is very pristine. Read more about nems also. Its all apart of the learning process if we loose something. Learn from mistakes, move forward and try again. Im sure you'll succeed, after all you got the support of AA

Just keep us posted. If it goes to far south youll need to pull it...but i dont see the need to currently. Mine took over a week to adjust.

If you see that it looks like it is falling apart, pull it immediately.

Well, it's def not good, but if it was inflated, that's a good sign. Just keep a close eye on it for deterioration.
Good luck with it J.
