For some context, yesterday I picked up this wild Australian lobo. Dipped it and placed it on the sandbed in a low flow area. It is a wild caught piece so it did have some burrowing clam holes but they were obviously dead so they shouldn't be a problem. My tank is 7 months old and I was already running GFO but I added alittle more just to be safe. However this is my first time keeping lobos so i do need some advice. This is him today

Does he look good? Will the skeleton that's poked through be covered or is that damage? And I need to know, I saw this today.

In the mouth, is that just part of the anatomy or is that something I should be concerned about. I'm praying to god that that isn't a gall crab. I need R2R lobo experts to help me not kill this.

Thank you
