{ UNKNOWN FACTS ABOUT MARIMO}
1* They do not float unless the water is squeezed out of them.
2* They are NOT moss, they are a very unique type of ALGAE.
3*

lighting

Unlike the idea that they need little light, they do best with lamp light especially if you have smaller, rolled marimo.
if so, they will start to grow outward like they do naturally and look very fuzzy.
They do still grow with little light but if you want fuzzy, healthy ones they need light.
[see pic]Health problems:
If your marimo turns grey then simply flip it over and make sure the grey area gets light.
If that doesn\'t not work then you can get a bowl, add water, ice and salt, let them soak in that for about 3 hours .they are a VERY easy plant ( ALGAE) to take care of and are nice for people that want a plant but don\'t have the time to take care of it.
They are also a helpfull addition to to fish tanks, thus they act like miniature filters cleaning out the water.
