java moss in high light

[plah831]

people think low light plants can only handle low lights but usually more lights, the better

the only problem I can anticipate with low light plants (not moss, but stuff with leaves like Anubias, for example) is that in high light they may develop pale or light green leaves. This is because the green color comes from chlorophyll, which low light plants usually need a lot of (more light-receptor molecule to catch any availalbe rays of light). So if you put them in high light when they're adapted to low light, their leaves may not produce much chlorophyll if there's no need for it, thus leading to pale green leaves.

there is still a need for chlorophyl just not as much ..
the plant will attempt to adjust to maintian homeostasis..pretty normal..a low light plant will attmpt to adjust and may successfully adjust.. the low loght plant can also re-adjust to low light..where as a high light plant may perish.
