fish yawning

I just flipped my lights on, looked at my canary blenny, and I swear he yawned.
Opened his mouth up and showed his fangs, wish I had the camera going...

They'll yawn periodically to flush out their gills. A few times a day for it to happen is normal. If they yawn a ton it could be a sign that they have gill flukes, though, but a few times a day is normal. You guys aren't crazy :).
