Fissidens fontanus, commonly known as Phoenix Moss, is a delicate, feather-like moss that brings a soft, natural texture to aquascapes. This version comes pre-attached to a smooth round stone, making it easy to place directly into your aquarium without any additional tying or gluing.
Ideal for low to moderate light setups, Phoenix Moss is slow-growing and highly prized for its unique appearance and ease of use. It’s a favourite among shrimp keepers and nature-style aquascapers for its ability to add subtle movement and contrast to hardscape layouts.
