i have some Erythropodium caribaeorum in my tank and its a very bright neon green.  I love the look of it and it does grow fast.  I cant tell for sure if that is what you have unless you can get a clear shot of the bottom of it.  If it looks like leather when its all retracted then that is what you have.
