Tang mouth stuck open

My Kole tends to have its mouth open like that most of the time. It does look a little sore though so perhaps a bacterial infection.
 
UPDATE: The antibiotic regimen seems to have been the right course of action. The Kole Tang’s sore is gone and he’s able to use his mouth normally. He’s been eating nori as well as pellets for the past couple of days. hes also been a lot more active in the QT and has been behaving like you’d expect a tang to behave. I’m very glad he’s doing well!
