Found this growing on driftwood in my freshwater aquarium.
It’s a solid, sheet-like green structure, similar to a lettuce leaf.
Not gelatinous. No roots, stems, or filaments.
It tears into clean, defined pieces when broken and smells like fresh grass.
Only growing on the wood, not on plants or glass.
Any idea what this is?
Freshwater macroalgae maybe or something else?

Looks like liverwort. Pretty cool to have in the aquarium.
Süsswassertang

It grows well, its a fern stuck in a specific form if I remember right.
Not harmful but can grow everywhere if bits go flying
Subwassertang. The best looking moss in my opinion. Quite rare too compared to other mosses.
Süßwassertang!! I have it in all my tanks. It’s a pretty easy plant, grows slowly and is great hiding for shrimp and fry.
