What is this ?

[Jarad]

Hi All, 
I picked up this piece at my local fish store today, Normally I don't put anything in my tanks when I am unsure of what they are but I simply couldn't pass this piece up ( it is just gorgeous ).
So my question is, what type of moss is this and where can I get more ?
TIA.

Looks like cladophora- what we call 'native' marimo/ aussiemo. You can buy the native cladophora on Gumtree and EBay ( just make sure it says native as the Japanese one- real marimo is illegal as it is protected as far as I know). That is a very slow growing algae, but if it is in the current, you will have a few tufts popping up around the tank. Some people remove them, I love it, so I keep it as the shrimp like the microorganism so that live in it. Very nice!?

Thankyou so much ! I could scape an entire tank with this and driftwood ^_^

If you live in Melbourne, I can give you some.

Or rather... I can give  you something that looks mighty similar.
