    Can anybody help to ID this moss?
    After searching the net it looks very close to this:

    http://www.aquamoss.net/Peacock-Moss/Peacock-Moss.htm

    The leaves looks velvety and soft and the fronds shape are small triangle formation. Don't think it's Singapore moss as I've it with these unknown moss before and they look different. This moss leaves also "wrap up" slightly into a V shape (unlike spiky which looks flat, no wrapping). Just like what the link describe of the Peacock Moss.

    Anyone with Peacock moss or have grown Peacock moss before?
    Can anybody verify?

    My guess is that this is Christmas Moss. Each leaf appears rounder and larger, compared to Peacock moss which tends to be more narrow and soft in appearance overall.
    Even if not, I'm pretty sure it's Vesicularia and not Taxiphyllum because of the slightly more rigid appearance that each frond has in general.
