sand turning reddish brown around EE chunks?

My EE isn't mixed in super well with the sand, but it's been fine up until now. The areas of EE are starting to turn the sandy areas surrounding it into a rusty-reddish brown color. Any advice as to why this is happening and if it's bad? I have three crabs molting so I can't really do a sub change.

It's the tannins in the cocofiber, it's totally normal and fine.
