What are these darker spots on this limestone, just did a water change and found this stuff on one of my rocks, is this algae or what? Sent from my Z970 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

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. Sent from my Z970 using Aquarium Advice mobile app
