I got mine as two frags (like sticks) with 2-3 heads each and they have grown into almost an umbrella when they fill out during the day. I'd say your growth pooks pretty normal too.

I had mine in high flow for 2 months, the heads never fully opened, i thought they'd get used to it after awhile, but it still grew, when i put it into the old spot, it had grown out, rather than splitting like usual. Could be that they where higher in the tank too, but definitly had different results in the 2 spots.
