    + 1 to smaug.

    Looks like Mondo Grass to me, More on it here. Take it out before it simply rots away.

    Lots of things are sold lots of ways lol, This is a good example of why it's important to always research anything you intend to put into your tank.

    But, Being an informed customer can help prevent issues such as this.

    It really does look like mondo grass however. I took one of the plants out and it simply dried up rather quickly and doesn't look to healthy at all.
