the white stuff is probably dead, but there is a lot more green stuff. Im sure your cheato is fine.

it is alittle
but shouldnt i expect that from shipping?

yes, it will have a little die off from shipping. Also the areas that have stagnant flow might cause a little die off. But what I do is once a day or so, I manually move the clump and shake it and turn it.
