    Default Need ID on this plant/moss

    Hi I noticed this growing on the rock border between us and next door and I thought I could use that for my frogs but I don't know wether it's safe or not. Please could someone ID it? It has a soft texture but is also firm and bounces back when pressed down, it also appears to only grow on the rocks.

    Hi Luke..I looks to me like a Lichen encrusted rock or maybe the Coral moss. I have both in my enclosures. Its great for different colour contrasts in your enclosure and the frogs like it too.
