Do they perform the same function?
Will the moonlite led's do for corals what the actinocs do or,

No they can't replace actinics, they are only to replicate a natural light at night. They aren't intense enough( as far as wattage goes) to be the only source of actinic light for your tank.

you wont see them on when your running your daylights, whilst your actinics lights will typically be strong enough to accent your tank's light scheme....
