Confusion with lighting

[FailingHearts]

Ok so I run an Ai prime 16HD for 11hrs total including the 2hr ramp up and down. I'm planning on having only soft corals aside from a small bit of Blastomussa wellsi. I was wondering if my lighting was ok because currently my Dendronephthya is open 100% of the lighting cycle but my GSP only opens during the intense blue. The store I bought them from had them under light blue light for what seems like 100% of the time. So I've changed my light to the blue end of the spectrum and also intensified the light as well just in case. I was wondering if this is ok.

What size is your tank? I run my AI Prime at 85% on a 15 gallon softie tank, mostly zoa's and mushrooms.

Your blue should not be zero, the blue, royal blue and violet should be the same IMO. IMO corals also need red and green light, I run those at 15%. My whites are at 25% but thats a matter of preference.

It's a 23 gallon tank. 15" X 15" X 23".

Try and look up ai prime settings on google. I’ve run 15gal/32gal tanks and my lights are running higher than you and my softies have never been stressed from too much light. Only thing I’ve experience is having a coral too high up on my structure but once I move them a little low I’ve been good to go
