Its been my experience that if they extend their stalk it is an indication that they are attempting to et more light....with adaquate light they don't need to extend upwards.
I do have a smallish colony under the center brace and the stalks on those are longer....but there is much less light available there.

You can break up the rock, or place smaller rocks around the colony that they can spread onto. How fast they spread would vary depeding on the system and the zoos.
sorry....another question....do you think 260 w is good for a 55 gallon for these guys, and am I suopposed to keep the blue lights on at night?
Yes that's enough lighting. The blue actinics do not stay on all night, only the moonlights (if you have any) would stay on during the night.

I tend to dissagree about the zoos reaching out for more light. I have many different types of zoos in my tank and only one type has huge stems/trunks. The rest are of a different variety and stay short close to the rock. The ones that are longer are very big in comparison. They also seem to be the fastest reproducing colony in my tank. I had them near the top of the tank for quite some time and they were getting more than the rest. Could it just be that they are getting more light and growing spreading faster? Just a thought...
