I dont see any orange and went to your gallery. I did see a hint of orange on the underside of a rock that I would guess is actually an encrusting sponge. They would be good for your tank so dont get rid of them. I have them in my tank and tend to be slow growers and only attractive when I am able to look up at them......

You mean that dark brownish-orange, encrusting growth?

Probably Lobophora variegata.
Do a search for it on RC... you'll find a ton of suggestions, some good and quite a bit very bad.
