    what it is ?

    This must have hitched a ride into my tank from somewhere but I have no idea what or where.

    It setteled on my driftwood and was about dime size when I first noticed it.  
    It's growing well and looking good.

    Can anyone tell me what it is ?

    'Dear Lord,' the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. 'Without you, we are but dust ...'
    He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four-year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'

      Yeah, that's pretty cool whatever it is. The only surprises I ever get are stow-away snails.

        Got any close ups? maybe pull a strand and take a macro shot?

        The growth as a whole looks like Taiwan Moss/Taxiphyllum alternans

            I'm still gonna say Taiwan....I have had it grow a few different variations in my tanks and the way yours is growing it closely resembles it. But Taxiphyllum for sure...

                  It does not look like flame moss to me...

                    I would like to add some of that to my tank, let me know when you are selling any extra.  Looks good!
