I love it!  Great job, Jubs...and I think flame moss would look amazing.  I just wish it grew faster.  It would take quite a bit to cover the shell.   

Thanks for sharing!!

Thank you ! I think it would look good as well. Yeah didn't take that into consideration though...  You're welcome, thank you for the compliment and insight on the flame moss !

you know lori, if you want something that grows faster you could always attach hair algea instead.

Jubs, if you don't want to wait for flame moss to grow out, you could also do that will taiwan, fissidins or peacock moss.  All would look nice on those caves.  Just a thought. Wink

I think that is awesome. Grin

I bet I could do this with a PVC cave too .  It would be a whole lot easier than gluing rocks ot it and would look better and be more natural looking.  Great Idea. Grin

More than likely you could. I would suggest at least sanding it a bit to get some roughness on the outside so the moss has something to grip to. I tried putting moss on egg crate and it just grew wild and egg crate was very exposed and looked horrible. Maybe even use some Krylon Fusion plastic spray paint to get a green or other darker base to work with.

Black PVC isn't very visible anyway so I don't care.  I will try it and let you know how I do.
