Are these holes normal for a maze coral? Not sure if I should be worried or not

considering the mouths don’t look like the one on the right, i’d be somewhat concerned. is any brown goo coming out of the enlarged mouths? i was going to say it could be pooping but usually they retract when they do

They do that from time to time. Looks like a Favia you got there! Three mouths is a good thing it means the it is growing and will start to grow purple between the mouths.
