I believe it's 'Red Grape' kelp:

Could also Botryocladia skottsbergii aka Red Valonia.

If you do have the red grape, a lot of your fish will like them.

I have a little bit of it, its very slow growing and can't possibly see why it would be considered bad.
Its in my jawfish tank, not in my sump.. theres no light in my sump.
Tangs will eat it.
