How much light is too much?

[Swav8tor]

Was able to borrow a par meter from my lfs and mapped out my tank. I would like to try my hand at sps, but I love my lps and softies. How much light is too much for lps and softies and zoas?

Lights are 10 inches above the water and are 9 inches apart.

I got readings for both saxby’s and BRS AB+

It totally depends on the individual coral's photobiology. You shouldn't have a problem though finding a wide range of species/varieties that will do well with the PAR readings you posted. Also, keep in mind the colloquial terms "SPS", "LPS" and "Softies" have no rellavance to the husbandry requirements of an animal.
