    I have lots of normal pelia in my tank and recently there are quite a lot of talk on Süßwassertang. By looking at the pictures of Süßwassertang, they sort of looks similar to normal pelia, but somehow it seems to be more in spherical clumps. Just like to know if they are the same or a seperate species altogether. Thanks.

    The plant that is mistakenly known as Pellia or Pelia (with a single "l") is Monosolenium tenerum.

    The Süßwassertang has been identified as fern that is a close relative to Lomariopsis lineata.

    Thanks for the reply. So after reading up, they are two different species. If only I have more space, maybe I will get some Süßwassertang to grow.
