Sand on LR

I constantly have a thin layer of sand all over my my Live Rock. I am not sure if it is from my PH or my maroon clown knocking the sand around. I dont think I will every get the coraline with the sand on it. I get in there in and blow it off every week or so but it comes back. Anywone else have this problem, is it normal?

Detritus is typical brown (I understand). This is definetly sand, white and pretty heavy. Not easy to blow off with a Turkey Baster.

not really a big deal however you dont want what ever it is dumping sand all over your corals. I have a large saddle back clown that lives to throw sand everywhere/ but he keeps it to his corner of the tank so i dont mind. as a side note the rocks that i have that get sand on them ALL the time are covered in coralline. so it does not seem to effect it.
do you have a sand sifting goby?? they do this alot. thats the main reason i dont have one
