I think its a Marimo ball a type of algae that doesn't take over a tank, and some think brings good luck.

is that it?

if so www.aquabotanic.com is a great place to get them!
Yeah, we guess its a kind of Cladophora (as Marimo), but we need exactly like on the photo, very small and fluffy...

In my experiment with Marimo balls I found that they became fluffy when I increased the light level.
thats not a marimo ball. Too hairy. Its probably just some kind of moss rolled up in a ball, or could even be hairgrass rolled up. The photo is by Oliver Knott. He works for a dealer of "Tropica Plants". He has his own WEB site. Do a search for Oliver Knott and you will find it. Then you can ask him what the plant is.
That ball is only 12 mm or less than 1/2" in diameter. I wonder how big it would get eventually or if that's it?
