has another mouth?!

I will have cared for this Mag for 2 years next month and noticed another mouth when I fed the tank tonight.
It was not there that I can remember a week or so ago. I might not have noticed it at all until I saw another stomach appear when it grabbed some mysis. Tried to get a decent pic but my camera sucks, should have tried my phone.

You can just see the two white bulges bracketing the 2 middle tentacles (obscured by the glare).
Will try to get a better shot tomorrow, lights are out now.

It does seem to have two mouth. When my Magnifica divided, it deflated and the mouth open, looking bad. I then see the rock through the mouth. . It then move apart and form two anemones. It really freak me out the first time, I though for sure my beautiful anemone is dying.

Mine did the exact same thing up to the point of being able to see the rock through the mouth. Then it decided to close back up again and never did split. Mine never had two mouths at the same time. OP - very nice looking magnifica.
 
Small update.

The mag is moving a little bit on his rock pedestal. I am beat from work so no pictures tonight. I tried but I will have to shut down some of the pumps to get a clear shot.
It does not look like the original mouth does, almost like a small pin hole. Also does not pucker, or nipple, like the original. I will update again tomorrow
after work and see how much it shifts.
