Coraline algae prefers high flow area so maybe your glass area having higher water flow than LR

Coralline algae prefers to grow at lower lighting areas compared to bright lightings.

ermm it prefers blue lighting than white =)

also it might depends on the surface ... maybe your coralline aglae likes the smoothness of the glass my friend also the same he get on his starboard and glass but not alot on his LR

I'm wondering maybe the type\source of the LR do matter... can try stock in few LR from different regions and see.
