What the FUNK is this growth?!?!

Definitely not bristle or fire worms. It might be a sponge. I know gorgoneans have that color but I see no polyps.

This is what happen when you dump leftover spaghetti pasta in the tank.

lmao it freaked me out as soon as i saw it in my hand i dropped the rock and jumped back for some reason i though they were fire bristle worms hehe

That's good practice, don't let this event keep you from doing that next time!

Is this algae hard or soft? Brittle? does it snap if you try to bend it back on itself?

 

[ChangDriX]

very soft, if you touch it hard enough it detaches from the rock or breaks in half

It's like orange kelp...really weird.

looks exactly like the orange macro algae I just got in my package from IPSF. Especially since you say your tang took it out. They have different colors they call Tang Heaven, but my orange stuff came in a pack with the "pod mat". So if you've got it randomly growing in your tank, I'd think that's pretty cool! Here's a pic of my fuge with lots of colors of the stuff in it:
