Anyone have a clue it's pretty bright orange , a type of coralline maybe I tried to scrape it off and it won't come off !!!

Just found the stuff myself. Growing on my Alternative Reef Frag shelf. It looks a bit like orange fuzz, not sure what it is but it's pretty.

Okay, thanks for the opportunity to help. Wednesday night church delayed answering. After careful consideration I think the answer is going to be a disappointment. There are encrusting orange sponges, but not scraping it off ruled that out. Without further delay it is simply Orange Coralline Algae, actually very common. Won't hurt a thing.

I had some glow in the dark, fluorescent blue coralline at one time, but it also happened to be the food of choice for a hitchhiker urchin.

Sweet I was hoping it would be coralline !! Not some crazy weird something that will hurt my goni thanks for the insight

In my tank, coralline that has been covered for a while and then moved into blue leds glows orange. I had 2 Vortechs on my back glass and when I took them off the coraline algae underneath glowed orange but only where the pump magnets were. Maybe it's the same type of thing.

Went and searched through some older photos, knew I had orange coralline before.

Coralline is crazy now that I know it can be really different colors I am not worried to much

I sure hope it's coralline...but I have something like this and everywhere it touches my palys they're turning brown ;_; including my beloved Sunny D's. It's not the lighting baceause I have a patch of greens that are as bright a green as always, but with brown ones where the orange stuff is touching.
