Willow Moss

Fontinalis antipyretica

Family: Fontinalaceae

Ask Finn

Willow Moss is a native cold-water aquatic moss with delicate, overlapping dark green leaves on branching stems. It prefers cooler water and good flow, making it excellent for coldwater and temperate setups with goldfish, temperate plants, or in nature biotopes. It attaches to rocks and wood and creates a natural, stream-like texture.
