Growth on Live Rock

[ChamorroSD]

This seems to be growing but not sure what it is. Can anyone provide insight ?

Thanks

Sorry I am asking about the orange object

Hmm...I was going to say a patch of cyano, but then I zoomed in :eek:.

Is it attached to the rock or just caught up in some algae?

Another picture would be helpful.

I have hermit crabs for my cleanup crew. Do they molt cause I was able to pick it off the algae and it looks like then skin of a crab?
