Anyone know what this is ? Appeared in the tank a while ago and has steadily grown at the back. Delicate and damages really easily. When 'pruned' it appears to die back where it's been cut.

Monosolenium Tenerum (Pellia?)

Monosolenium Tenerum (Pellia?)

That would be my call too.

It's a liverworth, allright - most likely Monosolenium tenerum. This species can variate quite much in appearance from "skinny" to "fat". Colour is usually a touch of yellow in the green. The plant is allways quite crisp (and it's a PITA to get totaly rid of - just like sinking Riccia).
Alternative - Lomariopsis lineata - does not have the "nerve" running through the growth, which is seen on pic.s and usually have a far more " bottle-green" colour. This is never really that crisp.
- just realized I sound like disliking Monosolenium. I actually like it - tied to wood in small areas, it really makes an impact.......

Thanks everyone great to know what it is...seems quite well behaved at the moment.

Hi Mr Teapot,
Could be Subwassertang ??? Looks a lot like seaweed.

Sysswassertang = Lomariopsis lineata 😉
