I had the same thing years ago in my tank. Grew pretty fast and big, I would trim it back once in awhile. After a couple of months it just died off never to be seen again.

Sargassum.. if its on a small rock i would just remove it to either your refugium OR take it to the LFS and maybe get store credit for it (after it grows a little bigger).. OR keep it if you like it..
