It feels somewhat soft but when I try to push into it it's solid doesn't squish in or anything if that helps and I don't see any tubes anywhere
 
Here's some more pictures that might help sorry there's some crap on my glass on some of the pics where the Rock is near but I don't see any tubes that You're mentioning do you?

I don't see any of the tubes you were talking about do you?
 
if it's hard with a chalky feel it's coraline
if it's slimy I would lean towards red slime algae
if it's fuzzy most likely sponge

ok this picture may help you figure out the proper id , I thought I had a picture of red slime but I don't but the description I gave is dead on

on your left orange sponge with pours not tubes
on your right red coraline
lower right white tube like sponge
