My LFS was selling scolys for 150 so I had to pick a couple up. I noticed this warpaint had 3 distinct mouths. Although the picture didn’t catch it, I have seen all three mouths open.

I’m pretty certain scolys don’t split so its not that.

Has anybody ever seen this?

There is mixed info on google. I found a guy on the internet selling one with “3 mouths” that looks very similar to mine in shape. Here is the link https://www.venderup.me/i-L34mwml3X

Sometimes Scolys (Homophyllia australis) can split, but it's pretty rare and takes a long time to fully split.
