What is this thing growing on my bogwood?

[Limbeh]

Hi all,

Please see the attached picture. This "plant" have been growing on this bogwood for quite a while, it is black at the base and white at the tip. It looks like riccia other than the color. I have several pieces of bogwood, but only this piece have this and it is growing at multiple location.

Regards,
Boon Hong

could it be decaying roots? from your java fern?

Or a new species of plant that you have cultivated If so i would like to buy some

Maybe your 'dead' DW/BW isnt quite as 'dead' as you first thought. Looks like roots, although it could be fine leaves.

You have an albino strand of plant somewhat Its bizarre.

No i get most of my driftwoods from fish haven... if you want to get rid of them can try what i discovered accidentally... just dry it for a few days and scrap the dried roots off... that should do the trick... but honestly i have no idea what on earth that is...
