yes aquarium plants are okay for hermies. you are talking about the fake plastic plants right? they are perfectly fine for hermies. i dont know about java moss but i know that sphagnum moss is fine.

Frozenbarb, I’ll ask the site owner of the epicurean hermit site as soon as I talk to her. It is an interesting idea and I cant find much online about java moss.

They do, although they don’t hold up very well to hermit crabs. They can be quite destructive to edible plants.

I got a message back from her that other crusteation species enjoy eating java moss so it should be fine for hermit crabs. Keep details records of if they eat it, when they eat it, how much they eat and what types of crabs eat it. Keep your eyes out for any strange behavior after eating and record that too for an official feeding trial so it can be added to the safe list if its truly edible.
