Phoenix Moss
Fissidens fontanus
Family: Fissidentaceae
A flat, feather-like aquatic moss with a unique branching structure that differentiates it from round-leaved mosses like Java Moss. It attaches readily to rock and wood and grows as a distinctive carpet of interlocking fronds. Slower growing than Java Moss, it produces a tidier, more formal appearance and is popular in Nature Aquarium and Iwagumi layouts.
