Thanks for the tip, Teck Song. I was at the shop a few hours ago and they definitely have many different types of mosses. I chatted with the shop owner for a while and he's a nice guy. I also bought some of his "Taiwan Moss". To tell the truth, I feel the pinch very badly whenever I have to pay for mosses. Over the years, I have given away so many kilograms of mosses it hurts like hell when I have to pay for them. But for the sake of clearing up the mystery about mosses' names, I guess the money I paid was worth it. Here's a pic of the Taiwan Moss I bought:
As Teck Song said, the texture of the moss seems to be different. It feels a lot softer than the Christmas Moss I have in my tanks. The triangular shapes seem similar to the Christmas but the fronds are shorter. I think the texture and the shorter fronds are due to different growing conditions. I'm quite sure this is the same as Christmas and I will be bringing some of it to Dr Tan to identify. I will also tie this Taiwan Moss to driftwood and grow them in my tank that has the Christmas Moss Wall. I do believe, that when they are grown in the same tank, they will, over time, look exactly the same.
