So now it jumped back up and my ORP completely disappeared. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong... additionally, there are some white spots on the tank glass... pics below

I’m not sure what your first comment is referring to but the things on the glass are hydroid jellyfish. They are quite common and usually disappear on their own.

pH up Salinity down, have you recently done a water change? things on your glass.. Not asterina stars, might be hydroids or spaghetti worms but seem to radially equal for that.. Could be small aiptasia.. hard to tell ..

What time of day is your Apex snapshot taken? How long have the lights been on or off?

I feel part of this thread is missing?
Yet I don't see where the emergency is ? ORP reading just disappeared from ur apex ?
Maybe try unplugging and replugging the probe or restarting Apex
Salinity reading is notoriously wrong with Apex .
Ph how fast is it fluctuating? Might just be ur daily swing between lights off and On.
Hope this helps.

Zoom in and you’ll see the hydroid jellyfish on the glass. I count five just in this screen shot:

Now on a computer than phone screen, I see droids. Scrape off with old credit card and reduce feedings which they will starve to death. They favor brine shrimp. A universal hitchhiker, they can sting coral especially zoa.
