Poison Ivy Pincushion Mushroom XL
Description
Leucobryum glaucum, commonly known as pincushion moss, is a unique and visually striking accent for aquarists who enjoy adding natural textures to their saltwater setups. While it cannot live submerged in saltwater, it thrives in the humid micro-environments around reef tanks, such as elevated refugium sections, paludarium-style shelves, equipment cabinets, or decorative dryscapes above the display. Its dense, velvety green mounds create a soft, forest-like contrast that pairs beautifully with the vibrant colors of corals, making it a popular choice for photography backdrops, coral-pack staging, or enhancing the overall aesthetic of an aquarium space. Easy to care for and requiring only moderate humidity and indirect light, Leucobryum glaucum brings a calming, natural element to any reef keeper’s setup without the complexity of introducing it underwater.

Notes from the King:
"Mushrooms will actually detach themselves and find another place in the tank if the light or flow are not to their likings. I have first hand seen it happen!"
