These two frags of ice and fire are separated by about 2 inches in height and about half a foot apart. However they both look completely different when it comes to their ‘umbrella’ one seems to have very long ‘tentacles?’ While the other does not. When I first received they looked exactly the same. Once again I apologize for the blurry photos. Still dealing with bacteria and algae bloom and learning how to take photos.

The length of the tentacles seems to be related to flow rather than light. You can usually tell when they're not getting enough light when they stretch up toward the light. Yours don't look like they stretching for the light though

We do have a lot of flow, think too much or too little flow ? I can move it of course I didn’t glue them for said reasons.

I'd say they're fine with the flow, they can handle a good amount and they'll usually close up if they're getting too much
