What is that white stuff that sometimes build up on the leaves of my annubias plants? I think it is just small particles of sand piling together, but not 100% sure.

Yeah I learned that a couple weeks ago lol so I pulled them and let them float for about a week and a half then just planted the roots a couple of days ago leaving the rhizome on top of the aragonite sand so that can pull the nutrients.

You're better off attaching them to rocks in a mbuna tank otherwise you'll never be able to keep the rhizomes above the substrate.

Yeah I just gotta get some more rocks to attach to, but what should I use to attach the annubias, I have heard suoerglue as long as 100% cyanoacrylate and then thread or fishing line, until the roots attach naturally to rock.

I prefer superglue, although green thread or fishing line will typically go unnoticed by other people, I know it's there and it sticks out like a sore thumb which flares my ocd lol.
