it looks like there is a size difference depending if they are the same age and the ends of the peacock moss are different then the spiky moss.
Below is the picture between "Peacock moss" and "Spiky moss". Pictures extract from "aquamoss.net". Some said both are the same. I dont think so. Spiky Moss on top, Peacock Moss below.

i have grown both before in the same tank..
both looks exactly the same to me..
the name peacock maybe came from the suppliers who want to booest the sale of the moss..
my 2 cents...

that is probably because the condition they were grown in.
spiky moss = low light, higher temperature and no co2 tank - will appear long and thin..
spiky moss = moderate/high lighting, lower temp and maybe with co2 injection - will appear thick, compact/bushy and short/smaller.
when mosses are grown in totally different condition, the moss will either look leggy, thin and long or short, bushy and thick.
i remembered a thread in killis.com when a guy said that a professor on moss confirmed that peacock and spiky moss are the same type of moss..
cant seems to find the thread anymore though..
my 2cents.
Peacock and Spiky moss are one and the same.
This was confirmed by Bryologist Professor Benito Tan.
Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, if he gets angry, he'll be a mile away - and barefoot!!
Yah, I agree too, both are the same, it look different probably grow in different environment, than when they mix together than you see the different is size.
I saw a moss tie on coconut shell and sell as "coconut moss" at seaview aquarium at Marine parade ... That how the LFS try to cheat beginner.
Thanks guy for sharing. Cause when i look at peacock moss it look so thick than spiky moss to me in same condition environment.
