Default This indeed xmas moss?

I feel like an idiot for bidding without asking this, but judging from the picture is this xmas moss or mislabeled?

i don't think it's xmas moss. the fronds for xmas moss come out looking triangular (much like a xmas tree, hence, the name). it could be singapore or taiwan? java it's not, for sure.

here's a link that might help with id for xmas moss:

A stupid question maybe to some people, but I don't mind being the one asking. Hence, has anyone ever mixed up mosses in their tanks. Or, how do you guys organize your mosses? Do you all put different kinds in different tanks or find some way to put them in the same tank without getting them mixed up? I know this question looms in the back of my head. Maybe others have the same thought on it as well~

I agree totally full out with Gomer here. Definately not taiwan. It could be Singapore, but I don't think much of that moss has entered the states yet, I could be wrong. I think its Christmas.

Paul,
I just tie different mosses to different driftwoods. Keeping them apart is pretty easy. If I do see a mix, usually the frond seems really out of place and I just pluck it out.
