sure it would be blue but the only thing that make the coral fluorescent is the actinic. If you really want the fluorescence, then it's more actinic.
My MH goes off at 6:00 pm and from there my 75 gallons is only lit by 2 x actinic. Yes it's blue, but it's a nice contrast with the day light and it definitly makes the coral pop.
You could keep the daylight bulb but only use it for mid day, and then in the evening turn this set off and leave more actinic.
Are you able to turn on and off part of your lighting fixture? you could put that on a controller if they ave different plugs. My MH has 3 separated power cords and my T5HO is a sundial with 2 individual integrated timers to control both set of 2 x actinic and the other of 1 x fiji and 1 x 14,000k.
If you have this option, you can vary the light with the time of day.
