have you lights on for one hour, off for one hour, on for one houre off for one hour.. ect fo the total lenght of your lighting period. do this for 4 to 7 days, then increase the on time by 15 min and decrease the off time for 15 min.. so it would be on for 1:15, off for 45 min, ect.. then in the next 4 to 7 days add another 15 to the on time and take 15 off the off time, so one for 1.5 hours off for .5 hours.. and then next week would be on for 1hour 45 min off for 15 min.

He actualy recomended against moving the corals around as this could cause them more stress by moving them ever few days. the other way to do it if your tank is set up for it, is to buy a bunch of steel window screen, cut 5 or 6 layers to put inbetween your tank and the light. every week remove one of the layers.

Hope this gives you some ideas

I agree with steve. I did this when I added my Iwasaki's to my tank and it worked awsome! Makes alot more sense too.
