It's being sold as ? Moss
I think the top one might be Taiwan moss?
I'm trying to sell it, but a name for it would be nice. I tried looking at moss websites and it all looks pretty much the same. I don't have enough consistent large piece to accurately identify it..

Trying to narrow this down, at least, for you Jag. The fronds have an irregular pinnate branching form all the way through, so rule out both taiwan and christmas which aren't like that everywhere no matter how they're grown. This is real common for singapore moss though and is the best way to differentiate singapore from taiwan. The other two possibilities from what I can see here would be weeping moss or spiky moss (aka peacock). Of these, we don't see much singapore moss over here and those selling it abroad are real familiar with it - less likely not to know what they're selling. Weeping moss would be more likely if your seller was a US hobbyist who's just forgotten which moss this is and has had it for a while. Spiky/peacock moss has been showing up a lot lately, so that's most likely if you've just bought it recently.
