His bottom beak looks longer then the top and thats not normal.
Does he eat okay?
Not sure if there is anything needed to be done.
@Yvonne G might be able to help

He eats fine with what I can see!! I cut his food small for him not to struggle! He has calcium things in his enclosure for him to bite on when he wants too!!

He eats a lot!

I have to say he looks rather cute with that jutting jaw - kind of determined ! Zola's jaw is the opposite to his - it overhangs a bit, but he eats fine too. I used to find he would bite his cuttlefish bone a lot, but he has totally lost interest in it now. So I take him to the vet twice a year, for him to file down - maybe cuttlefish would work for Coco- but in any case it may align itself anyway over time. He is lovely.

Awe! That’s adorable! Coco eats cuttlefish to! I thought Of taking him to the vet at one point but I also thought it was better to wait till he’s bigger!

I agree - if he is eating well, you don't want to put him off his food by a vet messing him about - in fact, I believe these things sometimes sort themselves out over time
