Allow the levels to drop naturally from coral uptake or water changes is fine too. Just don't drop alk too aggressively or you may shock corals. All should go down on its own quite easily and quickly over the course of the week. Extra carbon (if you run carbon at all) can also help clear up the water.

What concerned me was the rtn on the corals. It makes it seem like there is something more wrong than high calcium. It could be the the Caulerpa spawning for sure, but I don't think it would cause the corals to run . That's why I thought it could be bio pellets. I lost an entire tank when I ran bio pellets and the water was cloudy.

Do the fish seem ok?

There is certainly a lot going on in the tank ATM so ya, it will be challenging to pin point the exact cause. Certainly bioPellets could be the culprit as well. At this point it wouldn't really harm anything if you took the pellets offline if you wanted to. Get everything else in check first and then bring them back on line. And yes you will be resetting your seed time for the pellets.

In the end it's probably a series of things going on making the corals unhappy.

Why did you start the bio pellets in the beginning? High nitrates? Phosphates?

It could be a combination of many things. I would do a water change anyway it can't hurt.
