I suspect the mount is plastic or insulated so it doesn't actually draw power from the endcaps. Just a guess but it would make sense.

Depending on the spectrum of the LEDs they can really bring out the florescence in the corals. The royal blue LEDs in my iReef really bring out the colours, it's just hard to capture in camera. You have to see it in person.
