Could this be aefw eggs?

So I noticed my fox flame base getting a little white and it’s been in my tank for the last 2 months no issues so I tried inspecting it as best as I can and noticed what you see on those pics. I always dip my corals so not sure this is what it is but just wanted to see if anyone had any clue or if I was overthinking it.

Can you circle what you are talking about? From what I can see in the pic it looks like coral bleaching. What are your parameters?

Rsr-250 with x2 xr30g5 lines up front to back have checked par and have kept it atm ranging from 210-300.

alk- 8.5
Calc - 450
Mag - 1460
Sal - 35
No3 - 5
Po4 - .04-.05
Running calcium reactor, carbon. Feed fish plenty and feed corals 2-3/weekly. 10% water changes weekly. Using tmp

What you circled are polyps. Bleaching is what I see this piece is suffering and can stem from:
Lack of light
Lack of water flow (or both)
High alk
Low PH
High salinity (assure youre not getting a false reading)

It’s in between the polyps.

Flow wise I’m running x2 wav pumps switching between constant and Mavericks (just got 2 mp40s which will be installed later today wanted to switch out of wav)

ph 8.1-8.3 (only swing is night time running co2 scrubber to skimmer)

salinity checked 3 ways (refractometer, Hanna, apex).

for alk being high what do you mean I thought I was running lower than most that like it 9-10.

lights I could rent one to double check but really didn’t do any changes since the first time I set them up and measured readings.

Can't really tell in your picture. Here is a good pic of AEFW eggs.. Eggs on top of Eggs.

The stuff nightmares are made of.

Looks like possible eggs- yes. I would dip right away and rinse in RO and return it to tank.
Your alk looks to be good.

Yeah after I posted this as a precaution I did just that already but still was curious if that’s what it might have been. After the dip didn’t see much of anything fall out as I was expecting. Did Bayers
