They have it all wrong, it is Microsorum pteropus.



Also known as:
Java Fern
 
Yep, it's Java Fern (aka Microsorum Pteropus).

You can let the baby plants grow a bit and eventually they will detach themselves from the mother plant. If they don't you can always gently pull them off. Many people tie the little plantlets onto a rock or bogwood with some black string. The roots will eventually attach to the rock.
