Can actinic lighting bleach coral?

Hello, I just bought a couple new corals and I was wondering if I could turn up the intensity of the blue lights without harming the corals. I am just trying to make the colors pop more. I have 3 led lights that have blue and (white/red/green) lights and you can Adjust the intensity of the blue and white lights separately. So what I'm really asking is that if I bump up the intensity of the blue lighting will I bleach the coral or is blue lighting only on the tank for us to enjoy and it has no effect on the coral?
Thank you in advance for your help.
