Transferring aquatic moss? - APE - Aquatic Plant Enthusiasts

I cant be more specific to the species, but one of the local stores sells aquatic moss that is growing on a coconut shell cave. Is it possible to transfer the moss to something else? What would it grow on? How would you transfer it?

You can just take the moss and tie it to what ever you want

It will grow

I figured it out. I couldnt figure out how to get it off the coconut, and then realized it was tied with a very fine nylon material. Came off easily after removing that. I tied it to my driftwood with monofilament fishing line.
