Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it called Flame Moss?

Flame Moss (Taxiphyllum sp. 'Flame') gets its name from its unique upward-growing pattern that resembles flickering flames. Unlike most mosses that grow outward, Flame Moss grows vertically, creating a dramatic flame-like appearance.

Is Flame Moss easy to grow?

Yes, Flame Moss is beginner-friendly. It grows in low to medium light without CO2. It grows slowly (about 1 inch per month) but requires almost no maintenance. Attach it to rocks or driftwood with super glue or thread.

Does Flame Moss need CO2?

No, Flame Moss grows well without CO2 injection. CO2 speeds growth slightly but isn't necessary. Provide low to moderate light and clean water for the best results.

Good but check screws for looseness, mine had an arm fall off.
Color: Black
A screw fell out and the arm fell off soon after beginning to use them. Aside from that they are fine. Repaired by buying a $10 eyeglass repair kit.

very large, but otherwise perfect
Color: Black
Was looking for glacier sunglasses, at a reasonable price, and polarized. I found these and bought 4 pairs, one for each family member, for an upcoming trip. Glass look great! They are lightweight, polarized and have the side shields we needed. But, they are huge! All four must be returned. They don't fit any of us. It's a shame...they are perfect, besides the size. But glacier glasses must fit snugly to the face and these are far, far from our skin.

The Best Sunglasses
Color: Black
I was hesitant to purchase these at first. I'm so glad I did, though. They are light-weight, comfortable, and super stylish. I work in the desert, so the side guards are very helpful in keeping the sand and dust out (not entirely, but they help). I will absolutely purchase again.
