• Hand-painted detail — the moss texture and ageing are painted onto the resin casting, not printed, so the finish holds up to years of scrubbing underwater.
• Eye socket and jaw gap double as shelter — smaller fish and fry get somewhere to retreat that a smooth ornament doesn't offer.
• Non-toxic resin — safe for freshwater and saltwater tanks, with none of the tannin staining bone-look driftwood pieces can cause.
• Weighted to stay put — sits on the substrate rather than tipping or drifting once the tank is running.

Suitable for freshwater and saltwater community tanks wanting a hideaway with visual character. As with any hard ornament, check the eye socket and jaw edges against your smallest or most soft-bodied tankmates — shrimp and delicate fry in particular — before relying on it as their only hide.

Rinse under tap water before adding it to the tank. Wipe down algae growth with an aquarium-safe brush as needed.

Will the paint fade or wash off?

No — the moss and ageing detail is hand-painted onto the resin casting, and the whole piece is cast to be fully submersible.

Is it safe for saltwater tanks?

Yes, the resin is rated for both freshwater and saltwater aquariums.

Does it sit on the substrate or need burying?

It's weighted to sit on top of the substrate on its own — no burying or gluing needed.

Do I need to soak it before use?

Just rinse it under tap water — no extended soak is required.
