Hey I like those orange polyps. Did you frag them from your own bigger tank? I can't seem to find those locally. All I have are the green and yellow ones.
No, my LFS bought a 180 gallon reef tank from a guy getting out of the hobby that had them growing all over the place. When they broke the tank down, he scraped all of the polyps off of the powerheads, glass, and all non-rock surfaces. Consequently, the LFS has a ton of them both mounted and unmounted. I bought $10 of unmounted, broke it into three pieces and superglued them in place (1 in nano and 2 in 20 gallon).
I'm not really into buying large pieces of coral, I would rather start with a small frag and grow them out. Not really so much for the money factor, but I like the satisfaction of doing it myself.
I got them here:

not sure if they ship. Ask for Mark.
