not so green java moss

I just recieved some java moss from an online vendor today. Instead of the
deep-green color it is usually described as having, it was a sort of palish,
yellowish green, with some darker green patches. Is this something to be
concerned about? Will it revitalize in the aquarium after a few days, or
should I remove the stuff before it contaminates my water?
Many thanks for your help, again. :-)

IME, java moss is pretty hardy so I don't think you have to worry about it
rotting or anything. As long as its wet it will stay alive. Leave it be and
it will trundle along quite nicely, wrap some round a rock or drift wood for
a nice effect. HTH

It should be ok, mine java moss had the same dissapointing appearance before
I upgraded my lights. Now, with a little ferts and extra light, it looks
like it's supposed to. I bet a few weeks in your tank and it will pick up..

Thanks...I can already see some improvement - a little more green here
and there. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
