Moss Ball can survive in shadows, however, some sunshine is good for moss balls as well. See our real picture (using iPhone): when it generates air bubbles under the sun.
We believe that a real live moss ball is the first thing for the buyer to get a moss ball pet, not something plastic - considering it only grows 0.3-0.5 mm/year and lives 100 years more. In any way, we guarantee it is a live moss ball.

Marimo's homeland is Lake Akan in Japan
Lake Akan, located in Akan-cho, Kushiro City, Hokkaido, is part of the Akan National Park. It is a caldera lake formed by the eruption of Mount Oakan. The lake has a rhomboidal shape and is surrounded by the peaks of Mount Oakan and Mount Meakan. Known for its clear waters and picturesque scenery, Lake Akan is famous for its hot springs and abundant growth of marimo algae. The lake freezes over completely for four months of the year, from December to April, and visitors can take boat tours to the marimo exhibition and observation center once the ice starts to break in mid-April.
