Attaching java Moss...

we've been discussing lots of different ways to attach java moss to different objects. I think I have come up with a unique method.
1) The first pic is my "Stone head Java Man" cave. The only openings are it's mouth and eyes.
2) Laid Java Moss over head, covered whole cave with a hair net.
3)Couldn't resist pic of dojo and corys checking out the cave man.
Haven't tried a hairnet before. It is fixed so none of the fish can get inside of it and get caught.

Yep, it really adds something to the tank I can't wait for the Java moss to take to see how it looks. What did you call him? My underwater chia pet

That is too funny. I have used the back off of orange or grapefruit bags that is just a mesh for this but never on something like this. Love the head can't wait for his hair to grow in.
