Acan question

I picked up two acans yesterday from Aquapros. I'm afraid my lighting could be a bit much with the placement I chose for now. I have 24 cree 3w @ 72w total run around 70% about 8 inches from water. Shouldn't I be seeing better polyp extension?
 
Start them out on the sand bed to get acclimated to the lighting...the leds can cause them to bleach because of the intensity.

Yeah, same thing here. When I put them in partial shade off to the side, they really colored up nicely. My acan lords always have their tentacles out. They are gorgeous! I love when they puff up with water and look all huge.
 
Put them on the sand toward a ledge and acclimate them to the lights,and yeah you should have better polyp extension,they seem stressed atm.
