Too much light?

Hello everyone. This should be an easy question:

I am running a single 250w Radium 20k 16" above a 60 cube. Colors seem pretty washed out, while SPS colors look great. All LPS is near the bottom of the tank. I have an orange fungia that looks great, a meteor shower cyphastrea that looks pretty good, but not excellent, and a Miami Hurricane chalice that also looks really good.

Unfortunately the bubblegum monster, and various acans and montastrea are very washed out, although polyp extension is fine in the dark.

Simple question...is the light too much? Thanks for your help!
 
I don't think it's too much light. Have you tried moving some of these corals to different locations within the tank?
 
All of the LPS are already on the bottom, and the ones with the faded colors are in shaded areas as well. I haven't moved them really...my thoughts were that they might be getting too much light, and anywhere I move them would be more light.
