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.
 
give it some time and it will open, if they were shipped i have noticed they take a little longer to open
