Bolbitis??

As Robert suggested, Bolbitis heudelotii should be placed (tied either to wood or rock) near your filter outflow and trimmed regularly to promote new growth. In nature (here in Africa) Bolbitis heudelotii are found growing mostly on rocks and wood (tree roots) in very fast flowing streams (and some rivers). During the rainy seasons these streams are so vigorous that it strips the plant down to the rhizome (nature's way of trimming). It's suggested that this promotes new growth. The rhizome and root structure in nature are quite remarkable (it has to be, as it's a matter of clinging on for life in these streams) and you just don't see the same with aquarium cultivated plants.
