Purple spots turning white lost 2 fish
My tank has had tiny purple spots on the rocks and back for a year. They have suddenly turned white. 2 weeks ago lost Bangi Cardinal and lawnmower Blenney. This morning I found a small gray/white speck on one of the PJ Cards. My numbers are spot on. Only change has been one batch of water was low in salinity and once the ATO tube was touching in the sump and pulling water back into the holding ATO water.
125 gal. sump and fuge ATO Bubble Blaster 2000 UV LEDs 10 hours a day purple tang Hippo tang, Sailfin tang 2 clowns, 3 Chromis, 1 Bangi Card. 3 pajama card. 3 brittle star fish live rock 7 years old, sand bed 4 yrs. 20% water change weekly, Reef crystals tried to post a picture but it didn't work..Any help would be appreciated.

What is "spot on"? That means nothing to us.
Please list all known current parameters. As in tested today. Any additions to the tank in the last 60 days? Any changes in routine? What is your source water for water changes? If RODI what is the tds?

Just a guess but the purple spots seem like coralline algae and will not effect the fish.

All things that have been asked are to help better diagnose the problem reef keeping is complicated and usually there is more than one cause that adds to the problem if you don't want to answer the questions there is not much help we can give

If they are "spot on" then you know them, if you don't you are misleading us. No reason to get offended or waste our time.
If you can't answer the questions I have asked then you should reconsider if the hobby is right for you. I'm not being rude, I am being honest.
