I purchased a cool looking moss ball for my tank. It is now opening
up on one end. I keep this open end face down to the gravel or
little hairs of the moss ball will separate from it and clog my
filter.

Anyone have any info on how to care for the moss balls, or if them
opening up is normal? I know they like high light and I have that,
and they might need nutrients so I add Planttabbs to the water every
10 days.

Best bet would be to fasten with fishing line, or sewing thread around, or
to, some object, either driftwood, a rock, and eventually, it will grow
outside the string that you hold it with, and will cover it all up, you'll
never know it was there.

I've heard of ppl stapling it to driftwood, not to break the moss, but to
attach it firmly... Good luck... is it christmas moss or java moss, which
could very well be the same for all I know.... just curious...
