The white is the skeleton so it is losing tissue.
If your phosphates and nitrates are truly 0 then you need to up these. Lps like slightly high nutrient water. Are you feeding it, do you notice and feeding tentacles? they are fairly aggressive feeders and will benefit from a couple of feeds a week.
