New tanks go through browns and or reds or maroons or mixes therein.
It's just part of the process.

Watch the feeding.
Run some carbon.
Keep the glass clean religiously.
TEST your water for nitrate 3rd part of bio cycle if you didn't already know.
TEST for phosphates.
If either is more than -0- to a trace then overfeeding or the rock is still seasoning/curing. And or bioload is exceeded in the tank.

So far that's not the case...I'd try to bump the liverock from 14 up to 24 at least though. Thereby hitting that lb per gallon threshhold...well that I would recommend at least.

Sorry to hear about G-friends crabs...lol.

Good Luck.
