Help! Lepto is not happy and has white spots!

[LeleganceCoral]

I have had this lepto for around a month now and moved it about two weeks ago for more flow, i know the lepto got bothered while i was handling it, and some algae was on it, i figured it would improve, but it isn’t. There are now also some strings of white on them around the parts where skeleton is visible. Thanks for any replies! The photo is orange since my camera cant handle blues

Some causes:
Low calcium
Elevated alk
Lack of movement
Lack of nutrients such as nitrate and Phosphate
Too much light intensity

Based on the pictures, direction of lighting, and where the majority of white spots are located, I'm going to say it's probably lighting intensity... Turn on an aggressive acclimation mode (turn lights down to 15%) and let them ramp back up to full intensity over 3-4 weeks... That will give it time to recuperate and adjust to a higher intensity lighting...

I have about 80 par in that area since i suspected light was an issue, medium flow, and i am testing right now
