MOOSTEIN – Natural Lava Rock with Aquatic Moss for All Aquarium Sizes
MOOSTEIN is a natural lava stone covered with aquatic moss, ideal for creating natural underwater landscapes in aquariums of any size. Inspired by the aesthetics of natural aquascaping, this stone serves as a perfect focal point or structure for foreground or background settings. Its porous surface provides an excellent substrate for moss growth, forming lush green cushions that enhance the aquarium’s appearance with a mature and balanced look.
Unlike typical rooted plants, aquatic mosses develop rhizoids—multicellular filaments that allow them to anchor to rocks and driftwood. MOOSTEIN’s rough, porous texture creates the perfect environment for these rhizoids, supporting stable and healthy moss growth. With regular trimming, the moss can be shaped to remain dense and tidy, enriching both the visual design and ecological structure of the tank by offering shelter for small fish, shrimp, and microorganisms.
Compact in size, MOOSTEIN is particularly suitable for nano aquariums, but it can also be used effectively in larger tanks to accent specific areas, add contrast, or transition between fast-growing and slow-growing plant zones.
