Please post all of the parameters!

You will be giving the gurus here a better understanding on what is happening.

Those white worms like white threads they come from flash and they move are Scaly tentacles they do that from time to time even so no corals are close to them it can last up to three weeks without a reason this is not a problem moving to other place will help sometimes I noticed my Scaly is doing that I call it “she is in bad mood”
what about Wellso if u can blow out that deposit and u can see skeleton that is tissue recession lugol's dip will help there is some kind of bacteria u can get rid easily but you don’t have to let it accumulate
Your alk and calc is high and I don’t think your Nitrates is 0

guri, I know nothing about scolys so I leave that to you guys!

Why do you say you don't think his nitrates are 0? Mine are! On both API & Salifert test kits.;)
Now the phosphates I'm sure they are wayyyyyyy higher then .25. Mine read 0 on an API, but 1.10 on my Checkers Meter.:(
