Sorry im a beginner with salt water tanks. But my question is that my
crush coral on the bottom of the tank is turning a darkish brown. Is
the normal and is it good? If not, how can i get rid of it? Thanks.

It sounds like you have Diatoms growing in your tank, which is very
normal for a new tank. Soon you will find the sides of the tank are
also covered with the diatoms, and then they will slowly disappear.
