Got this today on some bladderwort. All the flower stalks are growing out of the bladderwort, this stuff acts like a very tiny grass.
What is it, and what do I do with it? I kinda like the look of it, but I don't want it in with the bladderwort, and I'm not sure if I should be splitting the bladderwort up so soon after it was shipped.

EDIT:

Might have found it.

So my question now is, can I split the bladderwort up to remove/repot the tiny grass without upsetting it?

It doesn't seem harmful, but I'd rather have a pot (or, rather, teacup) full of nothing but tiny little bladderwort leaves.
How fussy is bladderwort about being split up? I'd like to remove the grass and keep it in a different pot, but I don't want to stress the bladderwort out.

I took the whole thing out of the pot and found that the bladderwort's roots weren't entwined with the grass, so the bladderwort is now in a nice big pot with room to spread. I'm keeping the grass and may use it in an upcoming terrarium.
