def normal, but also check your water parameters could be a sign of poor water quality, or lighting ... star polyps are nice and pretty hardy, mine for example have grown 4x size in 6mos and open 5 min prior to the lights even turning on ... they in sync with my lighting schedule already and in routine .... :birthday:

Yeah, you probably just need a bit more time. Your water muct be much different than your LFS'. I actually can't stand mine. It grows like a weed after it adjusts, especially if you feed your tank with filter-feeder foods.

Mine is, no joke, about 20x the size since I got it 6 months ago. And it took mine about 4-5 days before they fully opened. Now they are like Chris'. They open right before the lights come on.
