Is this moss type able to be submerged underwater?

I am making some terrariums and I was intrigued by underwater moss, but I am not sure if this species is able to.

Hey, I believe you can. I remember seeing a video on YouTube. If you search for Brynum moss in aquarium or land moss in aquarium on youtube, you should be able to find a video of a guy who explains it. I do vaguely remember him mentioning in the comments that it was Bryum moss.

Sadly, this type of moss is not submersible. It prefers dry, humid areas with poor soil conditions.

@Plantoholic Thank you for your answer! I will try to submerge it after it roots into the rocks I put it on, that way it doesn’t shock it too much.
