Hey guys! I wish to start a sphagnum moss colony, and wanted to know if this was sphagnum moss revival or algae.
Any ideas are more than welcome.

It's hard to tell from the photo.
Look for a growth point.
Take a razor knife and scrape along an edge, see if algae comes off and there's dead sphagnum underneath it.

Just my 02¢ worth.
