I'm curious if anyone has identified why rocks directly in the path of a powerhead tend to have a dark layer of algae in that specific spot.

Some algaes like lots of flow, others like very low flow.
 
It isn't just the powerhead but many factors, the powerhead just conviently makes it seem like it is that.
