Think its got to do with the quality of the liverock. From your description it seems that your liverock might have been from rather murky waters and hence the presence of so much sediments. If possible take your liverocks out and scrub them with a small brush in some of your tank water to dislodge the loose sediments. Alternatively use a powerhead to blow off the sediments in a pail of water. Some sediments (especially clay and other fine sediments) will have adverse effects on coral growth.

Always something more important than fish.

Or maybe you got a hitchhiker in the rocks... a crab probably that builds burrows in rocks.. I got an irritating one that always throw out fine sediment of the rocks.
