I've had this elegance frag for about a month and a half. For awhile it was doing really well, even though it looks bleached from the day I got it. For the past week or two its been closed during the day, but will open a little when my lights go down. Tonight I noticed some white stuff on the right side of it. Anyone have a clue what it could be??

I run 4x t5s over an IM sr80. I keep alk between 8.4-9.0 (setting up doser now for even more stability) cal 420, mag around 1400. I run a softie/mainly euphyllia tank so nitrates and phos are a little high but no algae issues. The only shrimp I have is cleaner and I never see him near it.

First pic is when it was happy, second and third are tonight.
