Fissidens fontanus would work really nice for that if you can get a hold of some. I believe most of the available aquatic mosses would work while being more tame than java moss which tends to follow directions as well as a cab driver that thinks you don't know where you are.
Actually I used to have some nice lush emerald green algae growing on my driftwood and it blanketed most of the piece. After I moved it to another tank all of the algae died off and I really miss the look that it had so I may try so re-create the effect with some Fissidens fontanus if I can find any.
