The easy way to check this is to place something between the lights and the coral so it only shades that specific coral. Needle mesh, or sheer cloths work well. If you do this and it looks better and better after a week or so, once it looks all happy I'd move it to a shady spot. If you want to try to acclimate it slowly allow a little more light to hit it by moving the coverage or starting with a few layers of coverage and removing one a week or longer.

The alveopora was DEFINITELY in the direct light....and I placed it higher up in the tank...so, that makes a lot of sense. The Xenia is pretty low, however, it's only a 32g biocube, so perhaps it's still somewhat close even though it's placed lower than the other one was....and it IS in the direct light. I will definitely try what you suggested....and I appreciate the info!! fingers crossed...
