Hi All the "Sifu's"

I bought some mini pelia tied to a lava rock but unfortunately it didn't survive. However, the is rainbow at the end of the rain

This beautiful plant/moss grew from the rock and I have no idea what it is. Can anyone help ID?

Mini fissiden

Really? I bought US fissiden before but it looks different. The leaves are broader and flat... unlike the ones I bought which is more "hair like" like this picture I took from the net.

one up for US fissiden

then maybe mini fissiden, is it the same size as your US fissiden? mini fissident is smaller width

For mini fissiden the frond tends to grow out in different directions.

yep this is fissidens..doesn't look mini though..most probably.. us fissidens

Sometime us fissiden or mini fissden fond will attach themselves on soil grain. Then they will grow out like this nice but hard to duplicate the result .

hehehe... I googled fissidens and found that it is most likely mini fissiden. Its quite similar to Thai fissiden but not as big and this is growing in a clump...
This is the picture I find closest to what I have.
