Anyone know what this is? Is it a malformed dwarf baby tear? They are popping up here and there amongst my carpet of tears. All I have in the tank is dwarf hairgrass and dwarf baby tears so it's not a runner of anything else that I can think of. Should I weed it out? Thanks for any insight.

P.S. I know the pic is a little shabby. Its taken on my phone. Anyway, teh plant in question is the taller one in the middle.

I just googled riccia and it is indeed very small sprouts of that. Any idea why it just appeared? Probably came with the other plants? Do a few small sprouts bundle up or is this something that'll disappear with time?
 
Little bits of it hitchhiked in with your HC probably. Wort plants are one of the more common stowaways that come in on plants.
