Not sure what this is but I have 2 patches growing in my tank is it good or bad?

Do a google search for Codium and see what you think. The first one looks like Codium to me but I'm not sure about the second one as it is smaller. Codium is a good one as far as I know and doesn't grow too quickly.

thanks

The Codium I had was thick as you can see in the picture below. It was a well established colony I got from someone when I bought my first seahorses. As a measurement comparison the seahorse in the foreground of the picture was about 8" long and 2" deep front to back. I thought your picture looked a little like a juvenile version of what I had once.
