algae turning white?!?!?!

[salt newbie]

ive noticed over the past week that some of the pink or purple algae is starting too turn white in my tank!! Is this something i should be worried about or will it be ok??

Sounds like you r calcium is running low.  Have you tested it recently?

what are your phosphates? usually white Coraline means its on it's way out(correct me if I am wrong)...

What are your other water perimeters? (trites,trates,ammonia,ph,salinity,light,temp)?   running any carbons or phosphate media?

Have you moved your lighting closer? Added something new?

This does happen (or so I've read) sometimes when changing salts.
