Weird orange growth in sump

[Jake_the_reefer]

So I was looking at my sump today and found this odd growth. It is orange and from up close it looks like it has little roots growing on it. Any ideas what it is?

Added note it is only on the fuge section of the sump where flow is low and the light is on 24/7

Should I contact a marine study facility near me and see if they are interested in it?
