What did the packaging say as to what type of moss it was? Some moss found in craft stores can be dyed to make it more vibrant, don't want dyed moss in a viv imo. The humidity over time could make the colors bleed out.

It was called reindeer moss, it was just an idea at least! I wanted to add some colour to the project as it seems to just be sandy colour LOL

I like the color added to the background, but agree with Kel. If its dyed, it may not be a good idea.

Would spaghnum moss work?

Frog moss could work, also air plants would work. I found this about reindeer moss http://www.sfrc.ufl.edu/4h/Reindeer_moss/reindeer.htm
