metal halides should only be on 4 to 6 hours anyways. You should always have supplimental lighting. Decreasing your photo period should not affect coral health.
The reason why metal halides are so awesome is because their high par and lumen values. It doesn't matter that they aren't on as long because the QUALITY of the light is better then other lighting types.
I also run blue actinics for 12 hrs and moonight led's for 12 hrs.
