Monosolenium tenerum is an attractive liverwort, which looks most like
a giant Riccia that simply stays at the bottom, where it forms cushions. It is a
brittle plant, and pieces break off easily, so it is best to place it in the
aquarium attached to stones with fishing line or in small clumps among other
plants such as Eleocharis. Once M. tenerum has established itself, it is
very undemanding. This plant is mistakenly known as Pellia.
