SS Hose Clamps, safe for reef?

Well I am in the process of revamping my tank and in taking out my sump I thought about my set up. I have a stainless steel hose clamp on the return line holding the hose on the PH. I was wondering if these are safe to used in reefs? It is starting to rust..

I would take it off and use zip ties or plastic clamps
