Name that Moss! (Moss ID)

[Brian_Nano12g]

Found this moss hiding in my Flame Moss so I pulled it out. Can anyone tell me the species please???

Here it is pictured next to my Flame Moss (left).. Mystery Moss (right)...

Close Up:

I'm looking at pics online and it looks like Singapore or Taiwanese... which I can't really tell apart! LOL

Thanks guys!

Xmass...

I agree

Kind of looks like Taiwan or spiky moss too.

I was thinking Xmas at first but someone said the fronds aren't close enough together... too much separation.

I'm thinking Taiwanese or someone else suggested Anchor moss.

Just trying to make sure. I tied some in SS mesh to try to grow it out so it can fully show its true form.

Yeah that's what I would do- xmas, spiky, anchor and taiwan moss all look very similar when looking at a single strand. It will probably be easier to ID once we can see the structure it grows.

Someone forgot to mention peacock..

Thanks guys... what ever it is, I hope it's something more exotic than plain old Java Moss! LOL

Hi Brian! Siberian Tundra Moss. Grows between the toes of caribu wading in the tiaga swamps. (Just kidding) Good luck and let us know what it grows like. OS.

 

[Brian_Nano12g]

Haha... I like that one! Will do OS

Well I tied that little moss to a 2x2 square of SS mesh and it has grown fairly bushy... Still not sure what moss it is though...LOL

It really reminds me of my xmas moss.
