I would take the photo in white light or grab a phone orange filter and put it over your camera..
but are you talking about its mouth?

It looks like its the mouth of the hammer

That’s it’s mouth - it feeds from there and you will also see it pooping from the mouth.

Interesting lol, you never know how much personality these fish have until you see them day in day out. Very cool to watch, ready to get some more corals in soon

Welcome to the forum btw!
Also FYI, corals are types of cnidarian (related to jellyfish) rather than fish.
Best advice I can give on coral is to take it slow - I got a whole lot early on and then had to deal with them all fighting each other.

Have just the 1 hammer corral (and 2 small zoa frags on sand bed)in 125g. I'm doing my research and doing my best to be patient before adding more. Thanks for tips guys
