Might be Vesicularia dubyana but I might be a little off track. Vis will know exactly what it is.

I think you're right. Is it possible to grow java moss as a ground cover? If so, how would you anchor it?

Check out the link.

What you have is actually a type of moss. Cant really say but its definitely not java moss.

Oh ok... After looking at other pics on the net, I thought it is java moss. But I'm not an expert.

How much did you pay for it? If you found it in a tank full of it then it is most likely Java moss. Now that I see the pic, the leaves are very fine, like java moss.

Its difficult seeing it in a clump. When you want to Id moss you need to seperate the fronts. Moss can be very difficult as the grow different int different circumstances.

But for that price I would go with Java. The other moss also need temps under 25C and better light to grow nicely.
