No Lighting for Hammer Coral

I am in the middle of a Biocube 29 lighting upgrade to a rapid LED kit and we hit a snag. We did not have the cable to connect the apex VDM to the drivers. This was an oversight on my part. The problem is that it looks like we will not be able to finish the job until Wednesday at this point. This means my tank will be without lighting for 4 1/2 days. Does anyone have experience with how this may affect my Duncan and wall hammer. I also have zoanthids but the LPS are my bigger concern. All flow and other aspects of the tank are running as normal.

I did a three and 1/2 day blackout on my tank and both my hammers and frogspawn were fine. They are the branching kind though. In fact they looked better afterwards.

+1 I'll go without lights for a couple days every so often since for some reason the corals seem to love it, went over 10 days once treating for dinos I wouldn't stress it.

Lights are back tonight since we finished the LED install. Everything looks good. Thanks for the replies.
