Christmas Moss “Mini” is a smaller, more compact variant of the popular Christmas Moss (Vesicularia montagnei), prized for its tightly packed, miniature branching structure. This moss forms dense, lush mats that add a refined, detailed texture to any aquarium, making it ideal for delicate aquascaping, bonsai trees, and shrimp habitats.
Perfect for hobbyists seeking a moss with the classic Christmas Moss look but in a smaller, neater form, Christmas Moss Mini offers all the benefits of traditional Christmas Moss with a more intricate, fine-scale appearance.
