I noticed something (looks like a small pencil tip hole)two days ago didn't think of it until today it actually looks more like a second mouth trying or is already forming. Anyone experience this?

For some reason I can't upload my photo or video. When I get home I will try again.
 
Pictures are probably too large, need to resize below 2 mg. Video has to be hosted somewhere like Youtube.
 
I had a similar situation. Gig didn't seem to suffer.
Heres a video of it. At around 1:10 when the mouth area becomes more visible you can see the second "mouth" on the immediate right of the anemones actual mouth. It's a little hard to see but it's there:

It helps to watch the video on a computer full screen

How long have you had it? Better pics?

I've got a mertens with a couple mouths, had it for a few years now (6-7?). While the second mouth has developed into a larger mouth, still smaller than the main mouth, it shows no signs of naturally splitting. It uses both mouths to eat and poop. I don't expect it to split.
 
Wow... Had it for a few months now didn't have second mouth when I bought it. Just starting to develope a week or so ago. Today the tiny mouth still there. I don't think it will split either. Twinzzess lol Arnold and Davito
 
I don't know what other people think but I find it to be awesomeness! Maybe it's random or maybe your water quality is perfect for her to thrive.
