How can I prevent corals from thinking it’s night time when turning off the T5?

I have a LED/T5 combo and run the leds/t5s during the day. I like that deep blue in the evening, so I transition at around 6pm to just the LEDs. The problem is that once the t5s go off, the corals think it’s sleep time.

I just got the set up a few days ago (from just LED), so maybe the corals just need a few days to adjust? Or is it more than that?

I think it has to do with the par and how much there getting to determine if they want to open or not Im not sure on this could be wrong
