Seen star moss on e-bay

[West1]

I wanted to know how easy is it to grow star moss? Is it worth buying from e-bay? Will it grow in my tank without co2?

Saw that myself but am not convinced that it's a true aquatic. When I googled it the name (tortula ruralis), the results appeared to relate to a non-aquatic moss and where in the world (on land) it grew.

Be intersted to hear if anybody else has seen/heard anything to the contrary...

I know some people who have tried it and don't believe it is an aquatic moss.

it will grow and creep in submersed conditions.theres alot of them growing on rocks and land in my area.

Base on what I read elsewhere, it is not originally grow submerged, but it could survive and start spreading out after about 2 weeks you place them under the water. The important thing is that the star moss need to be secured on a rock or driftwood - seems like it will not grow as well if it is left floating.

I've heard mixed reviews about it. Somebody on another forum just ordered some. I'll be watching his thread and let you know how his did.
