The Floating Ball with Java Moss is a unique, decorative element for the aquarium. The ball is fully overgrown with lush Java moss (Taxiphyllum barbieri) and can float on the water surface, be attached to the glass with the suction cup, or be anchored to the bottom with the eco-ring for a floating effect. The Java moss grows slowly, resulting in an increasingly lush appearance.

✂️ Care
Gently rinse the Floating Ball under lukewarm water. Let it float, attach it to the glass with the suction cup, or anchor it to the bottom with the eco-ring for a floating effect. Regularly trim the moss to maintain its spherical shape. You can use the trimmed pieces to green other decorations.
💡 Tip
This is a natural product — each ball is unique in its growth and density. The Java moss will expand further after placement in the aquarium. Shrimp love to graze on the biofilm that forms on the moss.
