Calcium while Curing live rock?

Hello, I purchased 60 lbs of select “uncured” Lalo live rock from Drs. Foster and Smith about a month ago. It is now cured, but during the process, every bit of coralline algae fell off and it looks like bare base rock now. My LFS told me its because I haven’t been using calcium additives and it killed it. He also said it would take years to grow back like it was.
