Hi everyone! I ordered two nano marimos off of Esty. They haven't arrived yet, but in the meantime I want to learn as much about them as I can. I'll post some pics as soon as I can! And I'm sorry if this comes up as a reply to someone's post because I don't really know how to work this forum's controls. Thanks!!

Maybe you can try gently squeezing your marimo over the sink so the dirty water inside of it comes out. Then you can rinse it and put it back in the tank. Hope it works, no guarantee though

I'm not an expert, but they look pretty real to me. I would wait for leeyung to confirm this though.

Yes, I think you are right. These marimos do look sick to me. I'm not really an expert on marimos, but perhaps you could try a fridge spa or putting a little bit of salt in their water. Also, do not give them direct sunlight, ever.

You are welcome! I haven't actually used the fridge spa yet, but a lot of people use it as a way of curing sick marimos. I think that one or two days would be best- marimos are capable of going without sun for longer periods of time, but you don't want to freeze them to death. I think the water level you had in the pictures should be good. Any water level should be fine, you just need a good amount of water in there, enough to make sure it won't freeze too quickly. Happy to help! Good luck with your marimos, hope they get better soon!

Cool! Hope it works.

And to make this post relevant to marimos-

This website contains an interesting experiment a few people did on some marimos!
