You can start with short cycles of the Par bulb and increase a little at a time. You can adjust the height of the light and drop it a little at a time. Also you can make a couple of screens out of the black window screen that will help to filter some of the light from hitting the coral straight on. Remove a layer of screen each week until you are running at full power and time.
Either one of these should work.
