Fern ID- spiky black stemmed fern

Hello all-

I'd love help ID'ing this unique fern. It's from a small local indoor gardening store- normally their plants are labeled and healthy, but this one was unnamed and a little beat up. It's fronds are very spiky looking but quite thin- almost papery. Each frond is poofy, rather than being on one plane like most ferns. The stems are dark freen, almost black on mature fronds.

A picture...

Any ideas? I'd love to know what it is, partly because it isn't doing too well.

Thanks!
