    It's algae, usually hair or thread algae... just try to manually remove as much of the algae as you can, then introduce an army of hungry shrimps to help eat the remaining algae. Do not feed the shrimps until they clear all the algae. Reduce light photoperiod and intensity (if possible), do more water changes to reduce excess nutrients.

    I am referring to those that looks like mini pedia leaves, but have frones like the Christmas moss

    Oic... the first photo was blur so i thought you were referrring to the fuzzy stuff around the moss.

    Those look like another variant of moss, or perhaps even a different type of plant, maybe can just separate them and grow it out, get a better ID.

    Looks like Plagiochilla Integerrima. Usually sold as a terrarium plant, hope this helps.

    This looks like Singapore moss. I picked up some moss from the wild that looked like that and grew it in my tank, as time goes by they will transform into normal moss structure.
