I just noticed that one of the heads growing in on my space monster colony has three mouths on it.  I haven't seen this in any of my colonies, just wondering how common this is. I think its pretty cool.

Eh, not too common, some of my zoanthids do it from time to time. It is pretty cool..
This is more than a hobby; its a lifestyle.

When they are fully grown are they bigger that the ones with only one mouth?

Technically yes, but they usually end up splitting into separate polyps. If they don't split they'll be a little larger than the typical polyps.
