What negative will come from them clumping together.

I guess it give more surface area for bacteria to grow.
I used Rowaphos for about 2 months and my brown algea did not come back.

Apparently clumping pellets can create toxins bad for the tank (I forget the name, it's in the FAQ's i believe.) The clumping can be very bad, you want to keep all of them moving.

I am hoping nothing serious happens to my first born sps tank, don't want any burning tips on corals as asylumdown quoted.
