One thing it looks to be doing is forming a new head; are you referring to its tissue or mouth?

 

[BadPanda]

It looks like a blasto to me. Recently purchased one and presented the same gaping mouth on night one. Blasto went back to normal next morning. This is only assuming it's new in the tank. If not, something might be stressing it.

Referring to the mouth

Where you feeding it at that time? Noticed this reaction when expelling waste or after feeding. After about an hour after my wife fed the tank the blastos would show the same reaction.

 

[lilbitreefer]

Nope, I had just come home when I saw it.

+ 1 eating or pooping

 

[Lovemyreef2015]

Yep, that's what they looked like when expelling waste

Agreed. My blastos will do the same when they are ready to let something loose
