Only one of those bulbs is an actinic bulb. The other is a 10K bulb.

Lighting
Actinic light promotes the growth of Zoaxanthellae algae, essential for growth and well-being of all Photosynthetic corals and invertebrates [ not Macro algae.]
A good rule of thumb is to use one actinic and one or two daylight [ T5 ]
