It takes time for any coral to spread. I would be more interested on if they and the GSP near them have been closed up for long. If so, that would be one reason they aren't spreading and I would look into why this is the case. If it isn't a parameter issue, though posting them would be helpful, I would try a different spot with different flow and lighting.
