Wow! I am dreaming. Where can one orders this plant? How about the shower scrubby - I mean a fishing net.
Monosolenium tenerum (pellia)

Well I don't know where you can get it in your part of the world. A shower scrubby or scrunchy looks like this

That is an awesome idea! I have some Pelia and it kept "shedding" leaves off of the rock it's attached to. I might need to try that!
I have under 2 watts per gallon in that 55. I don't use CO2 in any of my tanks.

PS I'll make another post showing the whole process, step by step, of creating these. It's not hard to do and the results are very rewarding

more details
I got some pictures together on how to mesh the Mono onto a rock.
You will need some mesh (shower scrunchy) a needle and thread, styrofoam board, tooth picks, scissors, a rock and enough of the plant to cover 3/4 of the rock.
Stretch a piece of mesh over the rock so it looks like this. Cut it 1/2 in wider and longer to make up for going over the edges of the rock.
Stretch the mesh out onto the foam and tooth pick it in place. Take some short pieces of toothpicks to hold the rock up off the mesh and foam about 1/4 inch. Run some thread through the mesh on both ends so these can be pulled tight later.
Spread the plant out all over the net... this was not enough.
Put the rock on top
Bring one side over and toothpick it in place.
Then the other side
Tie the ends.
Sew up the middle
Place in the tank and wait till it grows in.
