It's probably a piece of driftwood that looks like a tree that was decorated with some kind of moss. Christmas Moss, probably.
Actually, yes it should be simple to make in the home aquarium. Most real driftwood isn't too expensive, here's a couple sites for real driftwood: http://www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/auction/auction.cgi?driftwood

Find some moss that you can easily attach to the driftwood: http://www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/auction/auction.cgi?liveplantsm
Then attach it with a rubber band and eventually it will root and you'll have a bonsai tree in your aquarium:)
E-mail me for any questions!

Use real driftwood,not fake.Then get several small starts of Java Moss,attach the moss gently to the"branches" of your "tree",keep the water level just at the top of the driftwood. Actually it wouldn't hurt to have the moss protruding a cm or so above the level of the water. Give the moss a few months to grow,and trim it to your preferred shape,then place it in deeper water or raise the water level in the tank. Nice bright lights will help,but they need not be special plant lights,regular flourescents will suffice.
If the water is too deep,the moss will grow too long and "stringy" the secret is keeping the moss right at or just above the surface. If you have the patience and talent to to this exercise, take a photo and email me when your done. I'd enjoy seeing how it comes out.
This just occurred to me,if you could find a seasoned piece of wood that actually was the bottom of a small tree (with the root parts) and invert it, it might make a very natural looking "underwater tree". Good luck,sounds like fun.

More than likely this is a professional aquarium. They probably took some driftwood, and added some sort of algea or aquatic plant to make the illusion of a tree...

i think of you Ph is only too severe for those plant life, the fish too. whilst the fish would adapt, it continues to be severe adequate to decrease the fishes existence span and ailment resistance. and plant life won't advance. you will have too plenty salt interior the tank, rocks or deco it somewhat is elevating the PH, ect. do you have any sae shells or coral in there, if so take it out. you Ph must be around 7 for those fish, with 7.6 being the utmost they'd desire to actual would desire to evolve to the kuhlis would desire to get scraped up on sand it somewhat is to coarse, be careful whn picking substrate for them.

the plants you see in that picture were tied on they plobly used string.
And yes you could do the same thing. But use real drift wood that way in time the plant will grow into the wood.
