    Strange Moss ID

    Hello, this is my first post on this wonderful forum. I'm hoping someone can help me ID the moss in the following pictures. I found several strands of this at the bottom of my planted tank growning entangled amongst some plants. A small piece must have hitchhiked into the tank with some other plants at some point. I haven't added any plants to this tank in at least 6 months so it's been growing in there for some time, but I never noticed it until now when I was trimming. I'm not totally sure if its actually a moss, but whatever it is, it definitely grows pretty well, for there to be this much of it now. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
    The plant in question is the one in the middle. On the left and right of it are Xmas Moss and Java Moss as a reference.

    Thanks,

    Jeremiah

    Oops, looks like the Img tags aren't working..... Hmm... Maybe a direct link will work better.

    Hi (what is your name ?)
    That plant in your picture is a liverwort and not a moss.
    The Prof ID it once but I can't remember the name, I think it is Heteroscyphus sp.

    BTW, I think you need to add .jpg to the picture name for the image tag to work.

    Kwek Leong,
    Do you still remember the name ?

    Hi Gan, my name is Jeremiah Yzaguirre, thanks for the quick response. A liverwort eh, sounds good. I'll go ahead and propagate it some more and see if anything interesting can be done with it...

    Thanks again,

    Jeremiah
