Leds and LPS

This is a great thread! I got 2 AI Prime lights for my new tank and had all colors set at 60% right away from 8am-5pm. My starburst polyp and torch coral (I think that's what they are) are very very happy, but this little guy (fox coral?) got curled up and brown and is looking horrible. I moved it to an area of high flow and turned down my lights and it's looking a bit better, but I'm worried I've burned and killed it. There are still brown spots on the stalk. Picture 1 is before, picture 2 is at it's worst, and picture 3 is now looking like it's recovering but still not great and still with brown spots on the stalk.

What should I be doing to help the coral recover, or is it a goner? From reading this, it looks like I should turn my blue lights way up and white lights way down for a couple weeks?

It's in a 40b with 2 HOB AquaClear 500 filters, 3 JVP-110 528-GPH Wavemaker Pumps, and 2 AI Prime lights set at about 60% power for all colors.

Thanks!
