yep bolbitus fern, you need to let the bottom not be covered by rock to much.
i cant tell in pic but looks like its covered by rocks completely. try to let it barely sit on top of the gravel. if you have to put a rock over it to keep it from floating.

Yeah, I asked the guy if I could bury the rhizome and he said yea...., but then I read that you are not supposed to. So its now sitting on the gravel.

very nice it also likes the flow so you might want to move it closer to the filter.

IME-It also does better shaded under PC or T5HO lighting.

mine is growing like a weed..in front of a powerhead with low light (less than 1 wpg) but has some direct/indirect sunlight.
