Orange Spotty Seaweed ID?

[ckistell]

I am a newbie to reef tanks and have noticed a rather attractive seaweed/algae growing on a peice of live rock in my 3 month old tank. I would appreciate any help in identifying it. It is approx half inch wide at the moment having doubled in size in only two weeks.

Many thanks

A clearer photo would help, looks more like a coral, but abetter photo is necessary. Unless someone else recognizes it.

These may be a little clearer but it is the best I can get from my camera. Sorry.

It may be hard to make out but the "leaf" has no bulk to it (I would say maximum thickness is no more than a millimeter) I fact the areas with no colouring are nearly translucent. This why I thought it a plant rather than coral
Thanks

Looks more like algae now, sorry I dont know what it is.

I think we had another person with something similar to this a few months back. Lemme search for it. I dont remember getting an ID for that person either. Its really interesting looking.
