if i spread out a marimo moss ball and tied it between canvas squares, would it grow like java, taiwan, and fire moss does?

No, marimo grows at a glacial pace. If you just tie it to a mesh or branch or rock it'll eventually take root though. I think it would take a long time for it to grow through plastic canvas

marimo isn't a moss xD It actually is an algae ball, so I'm pretty sure it will just be squashed.

I don't know about sandwiching it, but Eden Marel made a nice looking carpet out of marimo.
