Spiky Java Moss - Taxiphyllum sp. ‘Spiky’

Spiky Moss looks a lot like Java Moss but with a neater, more structured shape. Each frond grows in a pointed, triangular pattern, so it stays fuller and tidier than regular Java Moss. It is very hardy and a great choice for shrimp tanks, as it traps biofilm and gives shrimplets plenty of places to forage and hide.
