I had one that did. I forget the brand, but it had a lot
of actinic in it. It looked neat, but it did not look as
natural. I like 10 k mh lights as they give a more natural
look than the higher kelvin bulbs. I like to see the
natural colors. So I let that bulb run for a few days, and
then decide "no it's not growing on me, I'm changing it."

There are PLENTY of corals you can grow with that lighting. Check out
some of the lower light leathers, zoas, and other softies... As
already stated there are low light LPS that would do well under that
light as well.

Do the metal halide lamps create similar glowing effect?
Lets say if I get 14000K blue bulbs - will they support fluorescence?
Or I still should have actinic bulbs for that?
