Need help to identify the moss and the changes

14-05-2011, 04:30 PM

I was wondering if anybody here can help to identify the moss below?

It was initially placed in the sakura tank, and later moved some over to the CRS tank. However, we noticed some changes in the plant. It changes its shape as if it is now another kind of species... Not too sure is it caused by the temperature of the tank.
Anyone can help?

Thanks saddyboi!
Did a quick search and I found that that is indeed subwassertang.
It seems that this plant will change its shape according to the water temperature. For my case, it should have changed from round shape to longish around the temperature 27C.

The subwassertang in my other tanks that are not under temperature control still look pretty roundish.
