Clown looks like jaw is broken.

My clown looks like it's jaw is broken. It seems to be able to move it alittle but it can't close it completely. The inside of the bottom lip looks alittle swollen. I do know that my yellow tail damsel picks on it only if it gets to close to his favorite rock, not all the time. I'm wondering if maybe it broke it's jaw in a fight or could it be some sort of illness. Anyone want to speculate what it could be?

Sorry for the poor picture quality. I don't have the best camera.

No. She goes after the food, but then stops just short of it and lets it go by in the current. I would say that since she is the larger of the two I have, she would be the female. But I think they are both still juveniles, so I don't know if she has matured enough yet be called a female.
Also, are false percs. mouth brooders (is that the right term?)? If so, could that be it?

Well, she is looking better. Her lip is no longer swollen and she is actually eating small pieces of food now. So, hopefully, everything is on it's way to being okay. Thanks.
