Flame Moss

Flame Moss – Taxiphyllum sp. “Flame” is a visually striking moss species known for its upright, flame-shaped fronds that create a dynamic and textured look in aquascapes. Its bright green color and vertical growth pattern make it ideal for adding height and focal points to tanks, while also providing shelter for shrimp, fry, and small fish. Flame Moss attaches easily to rocks, driftwood, and mesh, making it versatile for moss walls, aquascape accents, or unique hardscape designs.
