I recently had this white looking algae start popping up everywhere. What Is it? It looks like white sand that has settled in the distance.

Looks like the coralline is dying and your seeing the calcium left behind.

+1. Did you recently do a water change where the coraline was left out of water for any length of time?

I did a water change but never that low, I have very little coral new but a lot of purple slime algae that's dying off
