I think I'm getting some brown algae..tank is 6-7 weeks old.
I have 2 clowns and emerald crab.
Have not done significant water change, just 1 gal twice, water only.
What should I do???

You should sit back and get ready for the "ugly stage". Algae at this point is normal and the first is usually diatoms (which are brown)

Scroll down past the nitrogen cycle and read all about the algae cycle. :)

 
I just cleaned a 5 year old rock

it's going through the same stage as you, just scrub off/ blow off/ wave your hand in water if necessary , just 'ugly phase' easy general maintenance will clear it.
