My 60 cube is lit by a 360x and I’m struggling to get the blues in my corals to show. They all look vibrant blue in the stores but a dull gray color in my tank. I’ve raised and lowered the every setting I can think of trying to get the blues to better show. Any thoughts? Also what are dolls thoughts on adding t5 or additional led to help
 
You need red and green light to bring out blue colors in your corals. Then, you can use your blue LEDs to show them off.

Generally speaking, daylight will render the best color in corals and then you can "blue it up" to your viewing pleasure. Even just a whiter spectrum with your Kessils for a good part of the day before moving to a bluer look when you are home to view.

I don't use LED and have only had longer-term experiments with many of them over my frag tanks, but nearly nobody that added T5s posts back about regretting it.
