What is your lighting set up? Java moss is a good, not so high demanding carpeting moss that looks nice. Java fern, anubias are both hardy and good for begginers. Depending on your lightg and c02 setup you have all sorts of choices
 
Java ferns, anubias, and most crypts make good starter plants. They do well in low-light tanks. The ferns and anubias need to be attached to wood or rock to do well. Crypts don't like to be moved and can experience something called "crypt melt" where they lose all their leaves and stems. Leave the base of the plant in the substrate and the crypt should regrow.
