Help! Favia has white spots.

Anyone know what this could be.
seems to be around and potentially coming out of the mouths.
My parameters are good other than phosphate which is coming down (0.22)
Tank is 2 Months old and other corals except my chalice look fine.
I’m wondering if it’s from phosphate swings or low nitrate which is at 13 ppm

Looks like mesenterial filaments

They’re not stringy at all. But my knowledge is very limited

Honestly your nitrates aren't too low, and some people will say your phosphates are too high but my tank is running at 40 ppm nitrates and .54 ppm phosphates. My tank is about 15 months old and all LPS and the colors are amazing and they all extend very large. I have 110 frags in there. Just keep an eye on it and make sure the lighting is appropriate.

How long has it looked like that? Also do you test you all, calcium, and mag?

Literally today.

I don't see anything wrong with those numbers. I would just see an eye on it and see if i gets worse. Sometimes the just get ticked off about something.
