What lighting and flow do you have it in? Maybe try putting it on the sanded or lower in the tank and give it less flow and see if you get more extension.

It came from my friends tank, and he had pretty much super high flow. Like triple of what i have on it. And it was long. So he cut me a double head from his colony. Its been around 2 weeos hopefully it recovers

IMO the flow does look too strong

I think it looks fine to me. might need more time in its new home.

I believe stronger flow = longer extension.
Agree that it also may need more time. But if flow is laminar than in my opinion, stronger flow does not equal longer extension.

If the heads are also pinching or beginning to split, extension can be affected.
