I just got a Bam Bam and Candy Apple Pink frag, and they aren't fully opened. Is this normal? I'm also afraid that I might have too much lighting. I have a 26w White/Blue light over a fluval spec nano.

I have had polyps that take up to a few weeks before fully opening. If you can see into the polyp and see some of the skirt meaning the polyp is partially open, that is a good sign, especially if you just recently put it into your tank. The light seems fine. Both of those polyps do fine in high light.
