Moss ID please!

[EA James]

Hi all,
I’ve got two types of moss in my tank that look quite similar, I’m going to be putting some up for sale but I don’t know what they are!
Can someone help with an ID please? I can take more pics if necessary
Cheers, James

christmas moss maybe?

It looks to possibly be Rose Moss (Notoscyphus lutescens). I used to have this moss.

Best regards,

Stuart

Do you have any photos in the tank underwater? One on the left looks like java Moss. Assuming they are both fast growing

rose moss leaves tend to be round and not spiky?

@Barbara Turner do these help?

 

[Barbara Turner]

Yes.. But it doesn't look like any of the mosses i've grown..
There are lots of mosses it's not..

PS lovely looking tank

Certainly is, @EA James should be well pleased.

I don't think it is Notoscyphus that is a <"leafy liverwort"> (like Cameroon "Moss") and these look to be true mosses.

Personally I love "moss name roulette", it is a game that you never get tired of.

[EA James]

I don't do aesthetics, but even I can see how good that is.

Definitely on the table.

I can't see any of the mini chrismas trees I would expect to see if it was Christmas moss.. To make it more challanging light levels can affect how it grows

James please shout if I'm wrong, you have the advantage you have the moss in front of you

i didnt see the bristlenose until after i said christmas moss, so it might be java moss that has been grazed on as well..
