Moss identification help.

[knightnurse14]

Hi guys.
A couple of months ago I spent $40.00 on a mess of greens that a guy was thinning out from his aquariums. It is doing well in my tank and looks great but I don't know what the name of the hairy moss like plant that is right of center looking into the tank. Can anyone identify the hairy green moss for me. Or is it a moss

It is java moss. It's fairly easy to keep.

You sure? Do you mean strands? I have seen java moss and it kinda looks the same, I can't think of a similar-looking moss...

I thought the stuff on the far right and on the far left were both Java Moss.
I'm talking about the thick hairy stuff. It is so thick that it even trapped and killed one of my Platys. Maybe I need to post better pics

It looks like Marino ball algae without it being spun by a current. Maybe a pic would help though

So I got every green thing you see in the tank plus a nice small sword plant and a large clump of Java Moss I put in my 29 gallon Ghost Shrimp tank for $40.00. The guy only asked for 30 but I gave him ten extra. Did I get a good deal? And seriously I think the hairy stuff isn't Java Moss. Any ideas where I can get a positive ID on it?
