| Hello everyone! I've been very busy for the past couple of weeks, but somehow I managed to find time to go to the local ABG (atl. botanical garden). Well, I came accross this very unusual plant in the orchid house that I *think* is a type of hydnophytum. It's very beautiful...looks like coral in an aquarium.
Does anyone have any info on this plant? Ever kept one in a vivarium? I have a hydnophytum formicarium (it's just plain green) in my terrarium, and it thrives. Links to pics are below! Thanks! |

| Gary, do you think this is an ant plant? Or some other type of epiphyte? I did check could jungle, and they don't have this. Thanks |

| No, it's no Hydnophytum. I believe it's one of the ant-ferns. Lycanopteris (spelling is probably off), I think. Try to search under that. |

| dravenxavier you are definitely correct! Thanks! Upon further researching these plants, they seem to be good candidates for terrariums! |
