I recently bought some dwarf hair grass and it came potted in some foam. How do I go about planting it? Do I have to remove each individual hair grass or can I plant globs still in foam? It's turning yellow at the tips and I'm not sure what deficiency is causing that. Any help would be appreciated!

the "foam" is wool and that is how the plant is grown emersed at the nurseries..
I suggest you break away the wool from the grass and plant it in clumps, each clump containing 10-15 blades. Space them out 1/2" and with good light/nutrients it should spread nicely.
you should also trim the grass about a week or 2 after you plant it.. This will promote new growth. Simply take scissors and mow it like a lawn

Extinct? Since when?
When trimming hairgrass, I would use a gravel vac with a pair of scissors under it when doing a water change, this way you don't get blades all over your tank and clog your filters.
pygmy chain probably have a better chance in spreading than the hairgrass.
If you bump the light to 2wpg then its a different story and both plants should do fine
