Water changes depend on the chemistry for me. Personally I only do them maybe 3 or 4 times a year.

Fresh new clean water isn't going to hurt anything.
If this is your normal water change day, stay the course.

Stick to your usual maintenance routine.

A water change is not going to significantly change anything and it wont make any difference to the coral acclimatising to your tank.
