Hammer grew a mouth? Is it splitting?

[W00F]

I feel like this is a noob question but can someone tell me what is happening to my hammer? This mouth looking thing appeared a few days ago.

too up close really to tell. Easy to see if they're splitting when the lights go down though. You'll see it slightly pinch in the middle. Exciting to see the first time for sure!!

Do you see that mouth looking thing? Do you know what that is?

Oh, it didn’t have that before or it was much smaller. Hammers have mouths?

Well thanks for info ReefLab. I guess that’s what it is- a mouth

It is a mouth, and an extra one means a new head is forming! Congrats!
