I’ve been acclimating some corals into a new tank. The old tank light intensity was too low I think because they always seemed really stretched out toward the surface then the Wellsi closed up and didn’t open much for a couple of weeks. They have been in the new tank for a few weeks now and the Wellsi looks all stubby but not quite like what I see in most pictures online. The Duncan looks good to me and has a small bulge where a new polyp is forming. The tentacles look fatter and stubby also. I’m working out the light schedule but it has been very similar in this tank since I started it. The light is a Kessil AP9x. The other corals all look like what I expected so I don’t think it is water parameters. My question is, do these look normal to you?

Great. Thanks. I’m sure the Kessil light will do wonders. I’m just not comfortable with them yet.
 
Look good. remember to keep the light and all as stable as possible.
Both feed 2-3X a week with mysis favorable.

Remain in acclimation mode a few days then adjust gradually as needed.
 
Thanks for the replies. Knowing I should minimize adjustments, I wanted to get some feedback before changing anything
