I don't know if I did this right . I don't know why it isnt an easier process to post a pic. Im currently using a smartphone (even on my pc at home i have a problem) i can upload pics to my gallary by choosing a file (actually tapping the pic) right from the phone. But when i try to choose a file while trying ro post it guves me a hard time (not unlike this keyboard) bery frustratung. Lol
Anyways to the point, if you cant view the pic youll have to go to my gallary (just spent my lunch break trting to do this and got no where) My sebae looked similar to that when i got it and was told it was suppose to look like that. Unless there are different color variations it is bleached out a bit. It took mine a good 3-4 months to really color up. Dont feed it at the moment. Let it settle down and color up a bit. I jad mine under t5s and it did quite well. Its now under leds ans is about 12" across.

OK it seemed to work. Here's what it looked like originally.

Actually I should have mentioned that the clown (s) will take care of feeding it. I haven't fed mine in over a year. Don't worry to much about the mouth just yet. Mine did the same. Its more important that the nem has found a spot it likes. If it has taken a foot hold (usually under a rock and on the glass) and your lighting is sufficient it should be OK. How old is the tank.

When you say the clown is going belly up, is it also kind of twitching a bit. This is actually normal behavior. It is a sign that one is becoming submissive. I always thought it was the male that did this. But I've had that clown in the pick a few years and out of nowhere a while back she laid eggs on a rock (no males in with her) so I figured why not get her a mate. So I picked up a tiny (well compared to her) male and within hours she not he was turning belly up and twitching. Within a week they she laid eggs again. I felt bad for her being alone but now they won't stop laying eggs. They have never survived but they just keep trying. I don't want babies. Had the big V done years ago to avoid it and now I'm afraid I'll have a hundred little babies to care for. Ahhh to much work. By the way I work in a school so I get plenty of time around kids. Lol
