Greg,

Did it look like this

If so, then this is (many names floating around):
Hemianthus callitrichoides
Hemianthus callitrichids
Hemianthus Callitricoides

Looks similar to Glossostigma but a bit smaller.

Here are some of my close up shots. Notice the scale of Flourite gravel
to the plant.

I went to Albany aquarium today and saw a very small version of
Glossostigma. The leaves were not any bigger than the flourite gravel.
I
thought I read somewhere that there is a small form of Glossostigma.
The
lighting in the tank seemed similar to mine, the only thing I could
think of
that would stunt the glosso's growth would be their fertilizer dosing?
They
didn't have any for sale, but I might go back when they have some to
test it
to see if it grows to the same size as the glosso in my tank. Maybe I
need
to read about bonsai.
