I'm not sure on the orange spot either, but the yellow spongy thing is just that - a sponge.

As long as it doesn't start to grow over and smother the polyps, it should be harmless/beneficial (it can grow on the skeleton like that without causing issues). Generally speaking, sponges that aren't visibly disturbing nearby corals (your sponge doesn't seem to bothering the coral) are only a problem if they starts growing over the coral's actual flesh.
