What type of plant is this and how is it cared for?

Question

I bought this plant at a corner store. The guy selling it didn't know what it was. Does anyone know what its name is? It seems sorta moss like. Its planted in sphagnum. I have no idea how to take care of it. See the plant here: http://www.chowntown.com/DSC04249.JPG
