Looks a lot more like Microsorm pteropus 'Windeløv' ( yep, I can do the "ø"-letter
), to me.
It's also a very easy plant to grow, but not a stem-plant like Hygrophila difformis.
Microsorum does not really like being planted in the substrate/gravel - but likes a spot on a piece of wood or a rock very much, since it's an epiphyte in nature.

I agree!
If that was Hygrophila difformis...the leaves would be reaching too or on the surface!

I am with Mick, it doesn't look like Hygrophila difformis to me, at least the ones I've had I would bet for Microsorum windeløv... Yeah! I can also write this strange 'o'
Look at the leaves in the picture, they are divided ain the end. In H. difformis the pattern is different, divisions are all along the leave and leaves distributed all along the stem

Its windelov fern. A cultivar but looks nice in a bunch. Tie it to a coconut shell or lava rock

To add to the confusion.........the somewhat 'heavy' look of leaves and their division, could mean it's actually another cultivar of Mic. pt.
- two obvious possibilities being Mic. pt. 'Thors Hammer' or Mic. pt. 'Gigantea'. Both have divided leaf-tips, but not as gracile as Mic. pt. 'Windeløv'.
It's still an uncomplicated plant to grow, though........
