BTA budding or sick?

[Madelion33]

I've been battling phosphates recently but ever since I got a handle on my parameters and started dosing essential elements bi-weekly and purple up at least 3 times a week then this started happening. This tank was purchased established( im assuming that only really matters in respects to live stock) and has been in my possession for 8 months. Any and all input appreciated!
