Too much light maybe?

I am running two 8watt IM Skyye lights on my 16 gal IM NUVO. my question is, could this be to bright for some of my soft corals?
My anthelia, kenya tree, and xenia (yes I am a weed collector), none are opening very fully
All parameters are in a good range so I am baffled

No, these are their cheaper units so sadly no bells and whistles

Photoinhibition starts around 500 PAR.

At 8 watts you should be well below this. Just give your corals time to acclimate.
