    Carpet behavior.

    normal....to keep this from happening I place a flat rock under the sand bed, a rock thin enough to have approx. 1/2 in. of sand on top of the rock.

I would say remove any bioload (feeding ect...), and run carbon until it disappears, with waterchanges and keep an eye on water parameters...
