New Toadstool Question

I just aquired a toadstool and have a question about the lighting and position in the tank. I currently run 2 250 MH mounted in a hood that is 14 inches above the water. I have the toadstool located about 6 inches off the bottom of my tank which makes it at max 24" probably closer to 20" from the MH. My question is is this enough or too much light? It's not fully opened yet. Just trying to get the right spot. I do have another which I bought at the same time it's almost figi leather looking but I was told that it is not a figi just an indoniesian leather. i have it on the bottom of the tank and it seems to be doing ok; but hasn't fully opened. Both have been in the tank for 24 hours.

Give the toadstool time to come out, it should be fine the brighter the lights the faster it will grow and get huge. Make sure u dont have to much flow on them a good moderate flow seems to work for mine.

Ive got mine about 9-10 inches from my halides and it opens up about big. Take a softball and cut it in half. Thats about how big mine opens. I think you should be ok.
