I would worry to much. Just don't add any calcium until it does come down. With a small coral load, this could take a few weeks.

agreed - nothing to worry about. you might double check those levels with another kit just to be sure - preferably a different make, like Salifert or LaMotte [my favorite]. you could take a sample of your water to your LFS or another nearby reefer. the worst that would happen is that the calcium would reach saturation and precipitate out like snow in the tank. not harmful, just annoying

I've been in the same situation, now I'm working hard to keep it above 350. I wouldn't worry about, just try to get the other parameters in check and the Ca will level out.
