    do u happen to have a top view down of the moss? will be easier to see. Or can you take a picture of a single flaun of the moss? it looks like spikey moss.

    It does look more like Taiwan than Christmas moss to me. I have both mosses and compared to each other, the Christmas moss is longer and more slender in its triangular fronds than Taiwan, of a lighter shade of green, and the most distinct difference is the texture. Christmas moss is a fair bit rougher and tougher to the touch than Taiwan.
    All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen.

    Christmas moss and taiwan moss are only differentiated if you brought them under the microscope....

    Some links for your references.
