Flame Moss on an 8x8cm pad

Vesicularia Flame Moss on an 8x8cm pad is a popular aquatic plant choice for adding vertical structure, vivid green coloration, and natural shelter to aquariums and shrimp tanks. Flame Moss gets its name from its unique growth habit: unlike most mosses that spread horizontally or weep, its fronds twist and grow upward in distinct, flame-like columns.

(Note: While commonly labeled under "Vesicularia" in the aquarium trade, true Flame Moss is typically classified scientifically as Taxiphyllum sp. 'Flame').

🌿 Product Overview

The 8x8 cm (approximately 3x3 inches) pad typically features the moss pre-bound to a flat surface:

Mesh Backing: It is typically pre-tied to a stainless steel wire mesh or a small slate pad, making it incredibly easy to handle.
Placement: You can place it directly onto your substrate to create a lush green carpet, or lean/attach it to hardscapes like driftwood and rocks.
Fauna Safe: It is 100% shrimp and fry safe. Shrimp love to graze on the microscopic biofilm that naturally develops within the fine, dense fronds.
