Can anyone tell me what kind of moss this is? The leaves or whatever they're called are much larger than java or Christmas moss. You can get an idea for size if you compare to the body size of the very large bamboo shrimp in the bottom right corner (pink square). Thanks for any help.

We bought the tank a couple of months ago as a complete set up and it came with it. It was almost all dead but has been making a come-back under a new bulb. We should have some to share in another couple of months.  :D

I agree looks like Phoenix Moss to me.
I order some plants a while ago, and I found a little of this moss mixed in. I saved it and its growing quite well.
