It looks like the common xenia. Red Sea is more of a white-ish color.

its not a red sea its a common xenia but still great . i used it as a macro algae/ refugium inside my tank it grow like crazy on a right condition. red sea are less tolerant . i used to have alot but now the nutrient is down . it doesn't grow as fast

I have a ton of this stuff, Its really weird and fussy, I could never ever get it to grow, then over the course of a week, randomly, it doubled in size and grew and grew and grew, then I woke up one morning and it was all white and slimy, 90% of it died off, and after a few days it perked back up again and is now its almost more plentiful than id like lol.
