It's been like this for a couple months, kind of purple and brown. The one that was sitting in the next cell is twice as big and looks just fine, I put that one in a pot a little while ago. Out of my eight tree seedlings, this is the only one that looks like this.

that's a horrible pic. Needlecast maybe? It turns spruce needles purple

Get rid of it. A tree that small with needlecast will (a) not survive and (b) potentially infect your other spruces
Thanks, I think you're right. I looked at the needles very closely and can kind of see the fungus on them. I threw it out with the container it was in.
