Stringy Moss (Vesicularia sp.) is a unique aquatic moss known for its long, thread-like strands that create a flowing, soft appearance in aquariums. It’s an ideal choice for aquascapers looking to add texture and volume to their setup, as it forms a loose, "stringy" appearance when allowed to grow freely or can be attached to hardscape elements for a more controlled display. Perfect for creating natural-looking underwater forests or adding soft green accents to aquariums.

The string moss was phenomenal, It arrived well packaged and on time. No determination or anything. Can't wait to see how this grows in my tank, I'm hoping it will cover the wood I've glued it too
This stuff is beautiful and bright green. I love it! Picture doesn’t do it justice.
This stuff grows insanely fast. I tied it to some rocks with cotton thread, and it’s already overtaken the thread, no co2. It’s just a dense carpet. I’ve trimmed some to place in another tank for a “dry” start on some lava rocks. Maybe I should time it this time?
