Maybe, because they were bizzy with the jellyfish.

Just remembered something:

WARNING: Level 1 Toxic Hazard

Eletania appears to be a world eminently suited for colonization. Sadly, appearances are deceiving. It is covered by a verdant carpet of mosses, algae, and lichen, and possesses a thick oxygenated atmosphere, but the animal kingdom is a web of microscopic symbiotic creatures. These are impossible to filter from the air and necessary for the native life to thrive. Unfortunately, they also cause anaphylactic shock when inhaled by non-native life.

Maybe the Protheans had the same problem colonizing earth as we humans have trying to colonize Eletania? Just because it is a garden world doesn't mean it is suitable for all life.

If that's the case, wouldn't they have had to do the same sort of thing when they occupied the Citadel?

@daqs
The Citadel has a perfectly breathable atmosphere for humans, but does it have an ecosystem? The problem on Eletania was the native life, and I don't think there's anything native to the Citadel.

What I meant is, perhaps there is a similar obstacle for them unique to our planet? Perhaps pollen spores or something else that is, well, everywhere, is toxic to the Protheans. Or the maybe the Protheans did land on Earth and we got sick, forcing the Protheans to leave if they didn't want to kill us.

But they did "colonize Earth!"

*ME3 "I am your father" spoiler* They melded human DNA with theirs triggering the evolution path to intelligence of the humans.

Humans are somewhat the descendants of the Protheans!

[Vanaer]

I thought that it was clear from the medaillon and the codex entries that they studied humans. Think of it this way, if we would find intelligent life on a planet, but the species isn't fully developed yet, wouldn't we study it? It could have given them vital insights in how a culture develops. If we would make such a discovery, there would be an enormous discussion in the scientific world on how to observe.

The Protheans chose not to interfere and to just observe. There were enough other planets to colonize.

[Daddy Bags]

Well, all of the other races like the Asari, Turians, Salarians, etc. were also developing just like we were. So for whatever reason they didn't interfere with them had to be the same reason why they didn't interfere with us.

Oh, okay. That's fair.

That's more of a "You are Forerunner" spoiler. And just as stupid.

Not sure if this was said but there is a mention somewhere that Prothean tech might emit some radiation, which would obviously be harmful to humans and is, possibly, why they set up their research base on Mars.

[armass]

They probably listed it as "sanctuary" world like Citadel does to certain garden worlds. This means a planet where potentially sapient race is evolving and it is offlimit to visitors. Then again why did they go on Kahje, eludes me. Maybe there were some prothean ruins on Earth but they got lost in the cataclysms and earth changes, we all know the stories of Atlantis and Lemuria for example...
