Yes Ryi, indeedy. I'll post an update soon with some new mosses and other things I haven't had to offer before. Just waiting for darkness when the lighting comes out better so I can include some pics too.
Availability now of what's already been posted: Flame Moss, Taiwan Moss, Subwassertang, Java Moss (at a lower cost than the others), and a bit more Weeping Moss... plus the Marimo's are still available too.

Still Available:
Newly added:
Anchor Moss (Vesicularia sp.) - $9.00 per golf ball size portion.
Spiky Moss (Taxiphyllum sp.) - $9.00 per golf ball size portion.
Mini Pellia (Riccardia chamedryfolia) - $10.00 per small portion of 1.5 to 2 inches across.
Anchor Moss - Identified as a distinctly different species (under the same Genus as Taiwan, Flame, and Java Mosses) by Dr. Benito Tan in 2006.

Relatively slow growing compared to most other premium mosses; growth form is flat with horizontal branching. Has slightly larger and longer fronds compared with Taiwan Moss. Easy moss to keep and is most similar to Spiky Moss in appearance. Prefers cooler temps and grows well within a wide pH range (5.0 to 8.0). Well suited for foreground use as a carpet or lawn; given it's texture and ease of care (less trimming needed). Can also be attached to rocks and driftwood using string or fishing line.
Spiky Moss - Faster growing moss that's bright green in color. Makes a striking visual contrast to the darker colored mosses (as in US Fissidens/Phoenix Moss). Easy to grow and tolerates warmer temperatures. Layered, bushy growth form that's nice used in moss walls, as a carpet moss, or attached to driftwood/rocks.
Mini-Pellia - Liverwort commonly known as Mini Pellia or Coral Pellia. Very tiny plants that grow slowly, but are otherwise easy to care for. Prefers cooler water but is not very demanding. This plant sinks naturally and is self-attaching once establshed. Excellent choice for small or nano tanks and makes a great addition to shrimp colonies.

Can't get very clear photos of moss, but maybe these will give you some idea.
Anchor Moss
Spiky Moss
Mini Pellia - This is to give you the most clear idea of the portion size, so there's no misunderstanding. Very difficult to find in any quantity.
And this is to show how far the small portion should spread when you actually attach it somewhere. Despite it's tiny size, this should still be an adequate amount to go on 2 small rocks or 1 larger one. Use fine netting or string, but not tied too tightly.

That's great, Dean. I'm glad you like them!
I always like how dense and soft those moss balls feel. And they're quite heavy... noticed that when I first got mine.
Just wait until you see one moving. I think each one has it's own personality.

Taiwan Moss and Java Moss ** Sold Out **
Still available: Flame Moss, Subwassertang, Anchor Moss, Spiky Moss, and Mini Pellia.

As an update on the Mini Pellia... I packaged up a portion to ship out tonight and the portion size I've shown before was just too small. That was a match to the first sample of this that I bought myself, but I think it would be too disappointing. So I'm filling the container shown in the pictures a lot higher than what this measured out as before. It pretty much doubles the amount... for the same price.
Here are updated photos to show exactly the portion size you would receive. (One portion is sold and one is pending - so 3 portions remain.)
