I think in most cases its a stability issue. Thats what corals do, they take root and spread. In a LFS scenario they are constantly being shuffled around. I have one piece in particular in my tank that didnt seem to want to color up for me no matter where I tried to place it in the tank. I finally gave up on trying to find the right spot for it and left alone. Its coming up on a couple months and its just now starting to regain its color. I suspect if I had just glued it down when I first got it, it would have settled in for me much sooner.
