I just acclimated some new fish into my tank and when I added them from the drip bucket the Lyretail Anthia's locked it's jaw wide open and kind of went limp for a min or two, like it had a stroke or something. Now 10 min later it is sitting under a rock kind of normally but it's jaw is still locked wide open. The lights are off and no fish are bothering it.

Has anyone seen this behavior before?

Well the fish is almost back to normal, it is hiding under a rock but is threatening to come out every now and then.
