Suggest you buy a blue light/ white light to act as in between, fish/ coral takes darkness as a signal for night where it will be trigger into hunting mode, too long a dark period is unnatural to their well being.

子非鱼,焉知鱼之乐... (you are not the fish so you...)

By doing that, I don't think is harmful for the coral but is very stressful for your fishes. Furthermore, with the shock, I don't think they will eat.

By switching on ur lights every morning juz to feed ur fishes while ur fishes could still be in a daze from sleep will waste the food u threw in. And only added waste to ur bioload. I would rather u invest in a food timer to feed ur fishes during lights on period when u r out at work.
