Tropica Moss Ball (Aegagropila linnaei)

Description

Moss Ball (Aegagropila linnaei) from Tropica

Cladophora aegagropila is not really a plant, but a ball of algae from 3-10 cm wide.
It is a decorative exception from the rule about avoiding algae at all costs.
It is normally found in shallow lakes, where the movement of the waves forms it into a sphere.

In an aquarium it must be turned regularly to keep it in shape.
Cladophora aegagrophila can be divided into smaller pieces, which become spherical with time, or which form a carpet, if attached to roots and stones. Protected in parts of Japan.
