check your phosphate and magnesium levels
Maybe scrape some coraline off of what you have on some of your rock into the water line as this help seeding.

Don,t have any urchins, and according to Elo's, my phosphates are zero.
I think its time for a hanna checker or 2
lower rocks have some coraline, but upper rocks are relatively bare. good thing i have some beautiful Bali live rock to make it looke nice and natural.

Maybe its being breached by high 6500k range lighting,as coraline really grows crazy in the blue spectrum range

Get an acrylic tank, and the coralline will be sure to find you.... I curse it every time I clean mine. You should not be complaining...

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.
