I went to my LFS yesterday to get some stuff for my saltwater tank and I saw this plant in their White's Tree frog aquarium. I like the look of it and was wondering if anyone could ID it for me.

Looks like a schefflera to me....They get giganticnormous very quickly!

Schefflera arboricola. Dwarf Umbrella Tree. It will get large, but it can be cut back to keep it in bounds.

Thanks! I was hoping it was from Africa so I could use it in my African biotope, too bad :/
