Love hate relationship with this... Once you've put it in your tank, you'll have it forever... It likes to break off and start a new moss "colony" elsewhere in the tank... Usually choking out other plants or clogging filter intakes if not kept cleaned up...
Amblystegium serpens

Gee, very nice! I can't grow it - will have to admire the slides!

That looks like Moss Tumbleweed, sounds like its behavior as well! I do not think I have seen this one before!

If you're into egg dropping fish breeding like rainbows / tetras / CPD's etc. than this "moss" is your best friend.
Or value shrimplets hiding from hungry mouths.
Each individual "strand" acts like a stem plant on it's own, it's only when there is a clump of hundreds of "strands" together will it act moss like.

Got a couple shots of the "Moss Jar"
Started as a planted old style baby turtle bowl which broke and was plopped into the big jar.
So on the bottom is DHG, and maybe Riccia and Subwassertang. It has Utricularia / Bladderwort (the pest kind no one wants - forgot the name atm) and I just left all the plants in there as to not spread it around the tanks. It doesn't seem to cause a bit of problem living with the moss, etc. But I can see how it would cause a gnarly mess in a pretty planted tank.
I love my moss jar!

The Bladderwort can be seen a little, looks like light green threads in between the moss.
Closer up of the moss growing up the edge - and anyone else think the end of the piece of wood sticking out looks like the head of a duck?
You can see a thread of the Bladderwort near the rim of the jar
This was a month after planting the turtle bowl 2.5 years ago.
4 months after planting end of summer growing for 4 months sitting under a deck patio getting nice warm dappled light and then some sunshine for a little while at the end of the day. Then moved inside for winter.
