I used 4 different types of moss that I found in the wild in various places

Looks nice. A tip that you can consider for your future builds, you can add some extra substrate and brush it back to create some elevation, that makes the terrarium looks a bit better and more natural, you can use taller plants for the elevated background and tiny plants for the foreground.

Those spiky boys are succulents, correct (looks like a type of haworthia, gasteria, hybrid, or something similar, lol)? If so, they will not be happy in that set up. They want arid conditions, long periods of dryness, and very infrequent but deep waterings. They also look like they need a lot more light than they’re currently getting.
I’d definitely recommend swapping those out for plants more suited for this setup. But other than that, it’s looking great! I love the terrarium itself…I’ve been wanting to get a similar one for quite awhile now.
Editing to add: If you’re unfamiliar with succulents, then I’d definitely recommend heading over to r/succulents to check out the Beginner Basics Guide there. It’s super informative!
