Tan/Clear Algae, Porcelain crab eating it.

So a month ago I figured I was starving my tank, I pullout out the Phosgaurd and started feeding daily. I got a porcelain crab recently who is eating well, I make sure he catches a homemade food from the water column.

Lately I've noticed a "peach fuzz" algae over my rocks, not very long and not green, tan or clear. What is this? Strangely enough I saw my crab last night crawling over it scooping at the rock with his nets and picking it off with his claws. This is the first I seen him do this. I didn't know they eat algae too, thought they got everything from the water.

Could you post pics?

Could be bacteria or algae but hard to tell without at least seeing.
