Vesicularia montagnei is an aquatic moss of Asian origin, closely related to Java moss. It is used in planted aquariums as an ornamental underwater plant, commonly referred to as Christmas moss

When moss has brown threads, it is not dead, it is just older growth that has been covered by new growth and has not received much light so does not contain chlorophyll, which gives it its green colouration. Once any brown threads are exposed to light, it will then begin to grow new strands and produce chlorophyll returning to its green colour after a few weeks.

 Christmas Moss is an unusual plant because it does not have roots to speak of, will sink to the bottom, will grow like weeds under the worst conditions (no substrate, low light, no fertilizer, most water temp ranges and most PH ranges).

What's most is, the Moss loves stagnant water and lots of nitrite. In fact it will THRIVE on high nitrite levels and left over food and fish fecal matters.

When java moss has brown threads, it is not dead, it is just older growth that has been covered by new growth and has not received much light so does not contain chlorophyll, which gives it its green colouration. Once any brown threads are exposed to light, it will then begin to grow new strands and produce chlorophyll returning to its green colour after a few weeks.
