Marimo Moss Balls, though often mistaken for a plant, are actually unique spherical formations of algae and a decorative exception to the typical aquarium rule of avoiding algae. Naturally found in shallow lakes, where wave movement shapes them, these moss balls need to be rotated regularly in an aquarium to maintain their form. They can be divided into smaller pieces, which will gradually become spherical, or used creatively to form carpets or attach to roots and stones. Easy to care for and versatile, Marimo Moss Balls add a natural charm, and are even protected in parts of Japan due to their significance.
