Christmas Moss on Coconut Toad

Plant Profile

Common Names: Xmas Moss, Vesicularia Montagnei

It is time to make a giant leap forward with this adorable, toad-shaped piece of aquarium decor! We have taken a naturally durable coconut shell, carved it into a charming little toad, and dressed it up in a lush, velvety coat of iconic Christmas Moss. Because aquarium moss is beginner-friendly and practically bulletproof, you can easily ditch the tacky plastic ornaments and enjoy a thriving, low-maintenance tank decoration that grows itself.

Key Features & Benefits

• The whimsical, toad-shaped coconut shell naturally sinks right out of the box so you can achieve an established, creative look with zero installation hassle.
• This organic shelter provides a beautiful, natural alternative to synthetic plastic tank decorations.
• The dense, textured moss canopy creates a highly secure, shaded sanctuary that encourages skittish fish and shrimp to come out into the open and flaunt their brightest colors.

Care & Planting Instructions

• Place the coconut toad directly onto your substrate or nestle it among your current hardscape to form an instant shelter and instant pop of green.
• Keep your aquarium parameters stable and avoid making rapid, drastic changes to your water chemistry to protect the fronds from sudden melting.
• Trim the moss columns occasionally with sharp aquascaping shears to maintain its clean, compact shape and promote healthy new growth.
• Provide clean weekly water changes and a steady supply of carbon dioxide injection if you want to accelerate its moderate growth rate and unlock its thickest potential.
• Propagate your lush green canopy down the road by simply cutting or ripping off small sections of new growth and securing them to other hardscape surfaces.
