The second growth is green in color. While dipping it in hot water for a few min, it turned orange.

tsouth, just a small piece of advice my friend. I would never dip anything from your reef or from the ocean in hot water. There was a recent report post here and on other sights of a reefer who became EXTREMELY ill after ( can't remember if he dipped or pour hot water over his corals ) using hot water to solve an issue he had with his corals/live rock. This hot water can kill instantly things on live rock that will, not can, emit some serious vapors if inhaled. I don't mean at all to sound harsh, I would just hate to see anyone become ill if it can be avoided. Friends?
