oohh
its black beard algae. nasty stuff. i am plagued with it. gonna get some siamese algae eaters since they are the only things that eat it and keep it under control.
Uh-oh. No wonder it was a free plant : P Time to cut some leaves and hope it doesn't spread I guess.
hate to say it may be too late since it is in your water. instead of cutting leaves just put it in a 1:19 bleach mix for 3 minutes and it will kill the algae off its leaves without being amputated.
Oh? Too late : / Oh well.
If I bleach the plant for 3 minutes won't the plant kill my fish and shrimp when I put it back in my aquarium?

the concentration of bleach:water is small so after the bleaching and rinsing it there shouldnt be any negative effect on your fish
