It may be a deformity it was born with, or a possible injury. I don't think it is a disease. Does it eat well? If it eats well and acts normal, I don't think it is anything to be worried about.

And welcome to the forum :)

Probably just a deformity. Some cichlid species (i.e. red parrots) cannot close their mouth. As long as he eats well it is fine.
