This is the stuff that gets handed down in the family …that’s just how old they can be lol it can grow up to 200 years old …prestigious in some cultures..been a while but I think Japanese if I’m not mistaken…they are more liking to cold and dark…like the bottom of cold lakes..as the water sways and currents drift them to roll and it’s a ball shape…in our aquarium…you want to be gentle when you squish it to clean but you also want to roll it gently between your palms to keep it’s shape or it will flatten over time and lose its integrity or shape…read this at your own risk bc I’m old so just google it for more details lol


for a vacation treat so to speak…put them in the fridge in a glass bowl or cup …the plant very much appreciates it..and you may notice it’s bright green coloring refreshing and occasional floating

Oh forgot treatment:

Manual removal and blackout lights a few days or whatever your plants can tolerate…throw a water lettuce or similar and soak up that extra, it’s a fast eater, water change…that’s what came to mind…and hold off feeding if possible til you get this under control . Good luck
