blueether Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 I don't think that there are many true aquatic liverworts in NZ, and i think they tend to be more moss like (many 'moss' are actually liverworts) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 You sure it's not something like green hair algae? Assuming it's the green blob below and to the right of the pot thing. Not a good enough picture to see the texture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
