Its dense, irregular branching creates a rich, natural texture that looks equally at home in a minimalist Nature Aquarium layout or a heavily planted jungle scape. It attaches readily to driftwood, rocks, mesh, and décor, spreading into a lush living carpet over time. It also free-floats beautifully, making it an instant addition to any setup without any prep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e✦ What you're getting\u003cbr\u003eA golf ball-sized portion provides enough coverage to anchor a piece of driftwood, tile a small moss wall section, or seed multiple areas of your tank at once.
