For a plant I bought for the fish tank the other day, there are some "white crystals" in the container it came in. I'm guessing it's some kind of food/nutrient for the plant. Is that type of stuff harmful to bettas?

Also, since coming to his new home, Andre's head which was black when he got here is starting to get a bit of a greenish color....must be the vita-chem or something!

No, it should not be harmful to your betta.

Those little crystals start out looking like salt, the moisture is added and they swell up to retain that moisture for the plant in transit. When it dehydrates it will look like salt again. A small amount shouldn't hurt your fish but I wouldn't put it in teh tank on purpose.
I believe its called silica gel.
