Java Moss does not cause a surface scum to form. This is a naturral occurance. Surface agitation can reduce it, or you can try to absorb it by laying a paper towel on it. I've read where Mollies will keep it cleaned up too.

 

I have never seen java moss do this and i have grown it in containers by themselves.
