It's all red/purple leaved on the under-sides. You can get some of that color based on lighting and tank conditions. Emersed it's more olive green with the same veining pattern.

I think the other options will one of these:
Anubias Frazeri
Narrow leaf Java fern
Hygrophila Corymbosa Stricta

I've had it attach to both wood and rock.

Thanks for the info! Did yours color up like this?

The anubias petit was a piece I cut from the one in the middle of my tank. It's parent attached to the driftwood in 30 days.
