A natural coconut shell cave covered with lush Java Moss (Taxiphyllum barbieri) — the perfect combination of shelter and greenery for shrimp and small fish. The moss provides grazing surfaces and helps maintain healthy water quality while the cave offers a safe, shaded hiding spot.
This easy-care decoration thrives in low to medium light and does not require CO₂ or special substrate. As the moss grows, it forms a rich green dome, creating a beautiful, natural focal point in your tank.
