Phoenix Moss (Fissidens fontanus)

Phoenix Moss stands out for its fine, feather-like fronds that fan out from a central point — a delicate, almost fern-like texture that's a favorite for detailed nature-style aquascapes.

It's a slower grower that prefers clean water and steady care, so it holds its shape well once established on wood or stone.
