Coraline with White spots

Any ideas on what it might be or how i should react to it its been there all over the coraline for a few weeks and its not from bleaching it looks uniform and covers all the coraline, should i be alarmed about it or is it something that happens to the algae...

 

What are the following parameters?

Calcium
Alkalinity
Magnesium
Specific Gravity/Salinity

Also, what kind of lighting do you have?

 

sounds like the coraline is dieing, nothing to really be alarmed about thou.A change or lack of one of the top 3 in your water parm can do that, new bulbs can also do that. as long as your parm are good, it will come back after a while.

 

Do you have a picture? Based on the info you've provided, it could be anything. Maybe even just spirobids...

and yes i did just add bulbs back to my 4 bulb light went from 2 bulbs to 4 and that is about the time the spot showed up... will reduce my lighting thanks for the help

 

no need to reduce your light imo - it will come back. you might want to check your cal and mag levels tho

 

I have never seen that before.....

 

Have you seen any asterinas? Have an urchins? Larger grazing snails, like the turbo.

 

Doubling his lights probably bleached it a bit,after the tank and coralline get used to the new stronger lighting and with proper parameters,the coralline will acclimate and start taking back off again if thats the issue.
