Vesicularia Dubyana is another very popular and undemanding aquarium moss. Good beginner plant, it can be cultivated in almost any kind of water. Also known as Java Moss, this plant has a deep green color with tiny leaves. Java Moss is intensively branched with lots of tiny stems surrounded by rhizoids and leaves. The rhizoids are used by the moss to attach itself to substrates. Vesicularia Dubyana do not have any role in nutrient absorption. Because it has not roots, Vesicularia Dubyana should not be buried in gravel. Cultivation of this plant should be done by spreading a thin layer of Java Moss on top of a solid substrate as a rock or a piece of root. This can be done by attaching it to the substrate with a thin fishing line or a cotton thread. Although it does not require strong lighting, it should be spread equally so every stems have access to the light. After a few months, it will anchor itself to its substrate and the fishing line could be removed. Some hobbyists have experienced good success in letting Java Moss float at the surface of the aquarium or in stapling it to a piece of driftwood. Almost any substrate can be used for Java Moss to attach to (even the aquarium glass!). This plant can be grown submerged or emersed. In the wild, Vesicularia Dubyana grows on the trees and stones of the very humid region of Southeast Asia.

I almost gave this a 4 star rating instead of 5 stars for the following reasons. 1) My order wasn't shipped until 7 days after I placed the order, and It took another week to arrive at my house. 2) There were 3 tiny hitch hiker snails in the moss.
So why did I decide on a 5 star rating? In spite of having to wait two weeks to receive my order, I am absolutely delighted with the quantity and quality of the moss I received. As for the snails -- or hitch hikers of any sort -- unless one orders plants grown from tissue culture, one should always expect hitch hikers and treat the plant accordingly before placing the plant in an aquarium. (Hydrogen peroxide dip works wonders for Java moss.) I don't fault the vendor for the less than 1 mm tiny snails hiding in the moss.
Would I buy from this vendor again? Absolutely.
