Prefer blues at a low intensity as moonlight - any effects on coral or fish?

Prime 16HDs have a very white and yellow moonlight that I just don’t love. I’d like to run a blue or royal blue at 1 or 2% at night instead.

Will this mess with the day/night cycle? Want my coral and cyano to get its beauty sleep, after all.

It's hard but honest work.

Yes, it's very dim. Reminds me of the first light fixtures to add an LED, where we used to just get 1 or 2 moonlight LEDs on our T5HO housings, or power compacts. My only fear is that we moved away from that for some reason, something like "the blue spectrum is used for growth and leaving it on overnight will disrupt the coral's natural cycles".

I have noticed in the past that if I leave a dim moonlight on I do not get that night time polyp extension out of my Acro’s. They like it pitch black at night.
