Flame Moss (Taxiphyllum sp. 'Flame') grows in upward spiraling fronds that resemble flickering flames. This rare growth habit makes it a standout moss for focal points, shrimp tanks, and contrast in your aquascape. Tie it to a small rock or log and let it climb upward over time.
Flame Moss is slow-growing and easy to manage, making it a top choice for clean, natural-style tanks.
