Just purchased 2 150w panel that are dimmable. 2:1 blue/white. I do not want to hurt my coral,s, mostly soft. I went from 300 watts of T5'S to about a total of 350w led. I was told by LFS to run leds for about a total of 6 hrs a day with very dimmable power on both whites and blues. Told to do this for about 2-3 weeks. Does this sound right? My corals just dont look as fluffy as they did with the T5's. Please advise.

I'd run them same amount of time you did with the halides but at like 50%-70% roughly. Its true they can bleach corals, give it time the corals will adjust but its all new light to them so they just need to acclimate and so lower light is always safer than higher so your lFS' advice is good :) but maybe a tad conservative ;)
