The pic circled looks like frogspawn or other euphyllia
What salt brand are you using and salt, you want 1.025 and mag 1300
Alk 8-11 and calcium 400-450
Temperature 77-79

Aquafirest reef salt for that no problem i do every time i make the salt up to 1.025 and the Mag and Cal at good rate but my problem this range every 2-3 days they go very low ,so there is some one absorbing it how i can solve this problem

Salt generally rises and not falls especially with evaporation. If you are getting or seeing salt creep frequently, the salt crystals are accumulating and removing salt content from water. Other naturally is false readings in which you want to calibrate device

Check your mg and ca when you mix water again and see if it’s already low
