are marimo moss balls freshwater plants or saltwater plants

[zoidberg01]

I was just wondering if I could put a marimo moss ball in a salt water aquarium

Sure you can. But it will die and pollute the tank.

 

[zoidberg01]

So you can't

They are a freshwater algae I believe.

From what I've read Marimo Moss Balls are indigenous to Japan and Scotland. Only the Japanese algae could survive in brackish tanks but not saltwater. All forms of this algae need low light.
