My turbo snails are turning my LR white. Good or bad?

is this a joke??

Snails dont turn rock white. Snails can eat the green algae off the rock but they can not turn the rock (WHITE). Purple Coralline algae can turn white (Bleaching) whenit dies or has lack of calcium in system...
just my input..

How long did has the rock been in the tank... if its new and was white then the Snails are just eatting the algae that is on the rock... and making it white again...
