Reminds me of Gracilaria edulis... but that's just based on the photo, and personal exposure to but a fraction of the Genus. Gracilaria are a rather large and diverse bowl of jello.

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.
