From what I've learned, actinic bulbs are for your eyes, the corals should be fine.

You shouldn't have a problem. All the "energy" your corals are using is pretty much coming from your 10K bulb anyway.

they would be fine with no light for 3-4 days . So you will be fine.

Corals will be fine but you may see increased algae growth. Nothing will suffer in a few days.
