When you say all parms are good, calcium? It would help if you could post your params. to figure out what is going on. Another question, is this "new" rock that you've added, if so how long was it out of the water? OK, one more question, is the whole rock turning white or just in places? What about zapping any aiptasia?

I have had some trouble with the multitude of coralline growth. Just some and it never seems to take off like I see in other tanks. Dunno, but i wish i could get that purple and red stuff covering my rock instead of the white.

Ah. Making more sense now.
How long has the rock been in there and how long has the system been set up?
