We have taken the tree-like fronds of this classic favorite and attached them directly onto a clay base so you can simply plop it down in your tank for an easy foreground accent. Since aquarium moss is beginner-friendly, you do not need years of experience to add depth and greenery to your tank.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I keep my Christmas Moss on Clay from turning brown or yellow?

Christmas Moss prefers clean, moving water and cooler temperatures (under 78°F). Browning usually occurs when organic debris gets trapped inside the dense fronds or when water temperatures run too high. Gently siphoning debris out during water changes will keep the inner growth green and healthy.

2. What is the best way to attach or position the clay piece in my tank?

Because the moss comes pre-attached to a weighted clay ceramic base, no glue or thread is needed! Simply place the clay piece flat onto your substrate, or nestle it among your rocks and driftwood to add an immediate splash of green.

3. How do I stop moss trimmings from spreading everywhere during maintenance?

Always turn off your filter pumps and powerheads before trimming moss. Use sharp curved shears to make clean cuts, and immediately scoop or siphon out floating cuttings so they don't take root in unwanted areas of your aquarium.
