From my experience light is not an issue for them.

How is your PO4 and do you use any coral food?

Looks hungry to me.

What’s too bright for a psammacora?
High in white which mine did not like. Under medium light and water flow, it is GOLDEN and very healthy

I’m currently on a full spectrum Radion light schedule. Maybe try AB+? That’s more blues if I remember correctly
For reference I use AB+ at 77% intensity for 7 hours and blue for last 3 hours (for evening viewing).
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
