That doesn't look so good. You better box it up and send it to me 
First time Crypt grower....does my Nurii look normal? UPDATED PIC 1/12
I received the crypt about 3-4 weeks ago and it finally started to grow. Couple leaves melted when I first put it in but now it's growing strong. I pump a ton of co2 and light in this tank so not sure if this is the way it's supposed to look when healthy.
That's not algae on the leaves by the way....it just looks like it in the pic but that's the pigment of the leaves.

Aside from the above, it looks bloody fantastic.
Now, surrender to me your Nurii

Not saying ADA substrate is bad, just I think for crypts Mts is a better option.

That looks nice...maybe I should start adding more iron to get the red leaves.Older pic from my tank, C. Nurii in grown in MTS:

Here is a cool comparison pic from 1 week of growth. You can see that the leaf in the middle is getting larger.

1 month update:
So shortly after my previous pictures, the Nurii started to melt on me for some reason. I probably lost about 10 leaves but it seems to have stabilized and is growing pretty nicely. I think the original melt from the "new tank syndrome" lasted a good 4-5 weeks. It's amazing how slow this plant grows. All my stemmed plants get a weekly trim but the crypt seems to be staying the same size. My mistake was planting it all the way in the corner and then putting stems in front of it. I cannot wait until it finally fills in the entire corner!
