I agree, a type of Selaginella, possibly a variety of S. kraussiana: https://garden.org/plants/sear...

It reminds me a little of Golden Club Moss (Selaginella kraussiana) that I had a few years ago.

The only time I ever successfully grew Selaginella was in a terrarium. They need very high humidity.
