So for the past week I been noticing the some of my LR has been turning brow and it's getting darker and darker . Does any body know what that can be ? Here's a pic of it

Snails work very well for curing that issue. The brown algae is commonly referred to as diatoms and is a normal process of your tank cycling.
 
How old is this tank? That rock looks very well established. Personally I don't think it's diatoms at all. Have you tried blowing it off using a turkey baster?
