       Hornwort, also called rigid hornwort, coontail, and coon’s tail,
       is an underwater, free-floating aquatic plant that can be found
       in bodies of water on every continent except Antarctica.
       Hornwort grows in bunches of 6 to 12 stalks connected at a
       single root. These long stems are covered in a feathery whorl of
       thin, green leaves that more closely resemble needles. The bushy
       growth of these leaves resemble the tail of a raccoon, hence its
       nickname. These plants range in color from light to dark green
       depending on environmental conditions.

       My wife has these in her 29 gallon and they are awesome. The
       fish love hiding and swimming around them.
