I got the PomPom algae from Algae Barn today and just wondering if it's normal for it to have orange tips and what looks like mold growing on it. I was about to call Algae Barn, but they were closed, so I will be asking them tomorrow. Though, just didn't feel safe adding this to my tank until I kind of knew more. I'll be honest, it could be totally normal, and I'm just freaking out, but I've never bought algae before so not really sure what to expect I guess.
The jar had leaked during shipping, but it was still really damp inside the jar. So I filled it with some fresh salt water (most of the way, but not all the way, probably 2/3s full) and am just keeping it out of light for now.
