Thanks all.

The central plant is a Hygrophila species from Japan. I have never seen it available in the US or even from any of the Asian nurseries and have no idea what the name is. Luis Navarro was not able to identify it either, and he's usually pretty good at that.

It was in many shops in Japan, but it always looked like cuttings brought in by a customer-- never in pots or formal bunches. It's really neat because it seems to have 2 distinct growth forms at the same time-- very broad, rounder leaves, but then with runner-like outgrowths that are very fine and much more pointed. Grows very easily.

Steven-- it is indeed Bright Sand. I added a fresh top layer before this shoot.
