GHM dividing?

So I noticed a couple days ago my GHM looked like its mouth was opening. I kept an eye on it, and it didn't really extend yesterday, but the opening got even bigger (and has even exposed what I assume was the original plug underneath). Picture was taken at night after everything had receded; the other GHM on the right has seemed okay (though it's never been as bright green as the other one).

Any thoughts? Ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and phosphate are all at 0 (working on getting that up since I'm battling GHA), and there's been no temp/pH/salinity swings.

Ahh gotcha thanks!

I have had bounces do something similar, scares me every time, but they then split into two healthy mushrooms.

That's what I'm hoping for. I know most mushrooms are damn near impossible to kill, but I'm new to all this and my first thought was, "Wait, I can see the underlying stone and what looks like its guts..."

Bright side is that it seems pretty healthy today, and there's a noticeable "divot" even though I can't see the mouth right now. So, fingers crossed!

Edit: Looks like it was just splitting after all, which is pretty cool since this is the first time I've gotten to see one of my corals divide!
