Provided you have very powerful lighting (MH or T5HO) and your tank is well established (1+ years) and all parameters are good, then I would leave it alone. I know you wanted it to be the center piece, but it didn't really like being there. They will move as they see fit.

As for it looking unhealthy, perhaps it is just acclimating (if your tank is suited for it).

It hasn't buried it's foot because it hasn't found the ideal spot. Wether the issue is the lighting/flow in the area or the depth of the SB it'll move and set it's foot when it finds the ideal location. AFA the mouth being slightly open that is common when first introduced but if it's healthy and the tank is chemically balanced it should be fine.
