Orange stuff on my LR

[Fierro Nights]

I got a leather coral today, nice purple color but at its base there is some type of bright orange stuff growing all over it, also a portion of this stuff has some orange spike looking things coming out of it almost like horns.

what is this, could it be a sponge because its soft and today this coral as been exposed to air and will be again when i propagate the leather later tonight. if it is a sponge, any chance on it surviving after being out of water.

im sorry for the poor picture quality i only have my phone's camera for now.

Purple leather...hmmmm. Never saw or heard of that before.

Focus Daniel-son...lol. Can't really tell from that pic, but I would guess some type of macroalgae and maybe coralline for the orange.

here is a purple cabbage that i have, it looks just like this thing.

here is the mine and compared to the one online.

I`ve seen orange coralline before. I`m pretty sure that`s what it is. The other stuff looks like some sort of macro as mentioned. The cabbage leather will turn more pink as it grows and opens up.

iv been looking w/ google searching for orange or yellow macro algae but have not found anything, ill have to wait week or so and see what it does for further inspection.
