    Wondering what plant or even algae this is. Found few stalks growing amongst my flame moss. Has grown to about 5 to 7cm in height.

    This is a bladderwort, probably a species of Utricularia. Very common to find this growing among some mosses.

    Probably came together with the bag of moss you bought. Most are grown in farms and you never know what gets mixed it. Some plants I bought came with some unidentified moss, others with some other type of plant-let. I just let it be and see what happens.
    Need something to scratch that itchy hand of mine.

    Don't act smart. Be smart!

    Yes...looks like it. I googled and found images of the specimen similar to mine. Not that I'm disturbed by it..more of a curiosity. It has grown quite nice actually but had to remove as it was hampering my view. Many thanks guys for your input.
    I'm learning a lot by asking..hehe.

    I used to have it in my tanks. Very messy but very fast and easy plant which can provide lots of cover for shy fishes.
