Riccardia chamedryfolia, commonly known as Coral Moss or Mini Pellia, is a stunning, bright green aquatic liverwort that forms dense, intricate structures resembling miniature coral reefs.

Why Choose It

• Coral-Like Texture: Its rigid, branching structure adds incredible, eye-catching detail to rocks and driftwood.

• Extremely Compact: Stays low and tight against surfaces, never becoming stringy or messy like traditional mosses.

• Nano-Tank Perfect: Its miniature scale makes it the ultimate choice for small aquariums and intricate foreground detailing.

• Shrimp Favorite: The dense growth provides massive surface area for biofilm, making it an ideal foraging ground for dwarf shrimp.

Planting & Care

• Attachment: Do not bury in substrate. Dab small amounts of cyanoacrylate super glue onto hardscape and press small portions of the moss onto it, or tie it down with thread.

• Upkeep: Ensure good water flow to keep the plant free of detritus. While it survives in low tech, it requires medium/high light and CO2 to achieve its signature tight, coral-like appearance (otherwise it grows thin and stringy).
