another way to disperse it is to aim a powerhead at a heavily encrusted area
 Personally I haven't figured out how coralline algae works, I have hardly any in my tank and haven't for a couple of years. I find it very frustrating to see taht I only have a couple small patches. I even recently bought a rock that was just covered as a little experiment to see if I just don't have the right conditions or what.

I'm kind of in the same boat. I know that light intensity as well as flow and overall calcium reading will determine what colour coraline will grow in. But I think I might be one of the few who don't like it all over the place. I don't mind it on the rockwork, as realistically that becomes covered with corals inthe long run (well, that's the plan anyways) But I try my damnedest to get it off everything else. I like the way a tank looks deeper front to back without coraline.

If this is a new setup, could it be that the "dieing off rock" was dried out at some point before you received the LR? So after you put it into the aquarium, it was already dead?I know it bleaches out in the sun without water.
Hopefully it will grow back after a month.
